St. Rose part of Tables of Joy

St. Rose 8x10 oil

Barb had the winning bid on my contribution to Tables of Joy for the benefit of Franciscan Spirituality Center.

 As"Art in Action" I painted from a photographic, a portion of the garden outside the chapel, a quick paint from 4:30 til 6 so guests could bid on auction items and then sit down for dinner.

Due to the inclement weather the venue switched from outside in the garden to indoors.  I did take liberties and sketched out my composition and mixed colors on my palette before arriving to be able to finish in time. It would have been fun to paint plein air but as an artist I find I always have to adapt to evolving situations.

Thanks for inviting me to celebrate community with you, Hope.
