This was the afternoon painting today at the Overland Park Arboretum. I had done the rose trellis painting in the morning and ,after lunch, decided I had time for one more. I have often tried to paint the Alliums but this view looking back across the pond was stunning. I loved how the value changes were all I could see which kept me from getting to picky and kept it loose. I also loved how the flowers surrounding it shone against the purple hues of the allium. This painting flowed easily and was a delightful end to a perfect plein aire outing.
