Hi CJ, I've "added you to my Reading List" since my follow gadget is not working. This is beautiful - love the color in the background especially. Did you paint on site?

Hi Alice,
Thank you.
Yes, this was a demo that I started and completed over a period of several days at the arboretum during my gallery hanging there.

The canvas is 30x40. This image is actually cropped a bit from the original.

You can see me working on the charcoal/graphite under drawing in my profile image.
CJ
