Visit to Joan's Garden

A couple of weeks ago I bought peonies from a lady selling them from her front gate.  I noticed how beautiful her garden was and said I'd love to paint her garden.  She gave me an open invitation to visit and paint.  So, today, I had a few hours in the morning (before it gets in the 90's) and I went by.  No one was at home, so I set up across the street and painted the little gate.  I left my card asking if I could come by next week.  Here is the little painting I did today - "The Rose Trellis Gate".  It is almost done.  I will touch it up later.

Also, here is the "High Sierra Meadow" after I touched it up.
