Boy at Buttonwood Park

I saw this boy with his Mom and Dad and older brother trying out the new playground in Buttonwood Park. He liked to sit at the bottom of the slide. We played here as girls but there was a corkscrew style metal slide at the time.

Shades of Green

A friend told me the other day that he can't see the color red. I wondered what the world would look like with no red. There would be no brown because to make brown you would need red. There would be no violet and no pink and of course, no red. So for today's painting, I left the red paint off my palette using only blue, yellow, black and white paint. I don't know if this is how he would see the fountain lady at Buttonwood Park near the greenhouse but this is how she looks with no red.

A Walk in the Park

From before the sun comes up until well after the sun goes down, people walk around Buttonwood Park. The sun was setting and the light struck this woman and I thought that this would make a nice painting. The only problem was that I was driving my car at the time. Tonight I did this painting from memory. It is the first that I have ever painted this way. I made myself do it as an experiment because my favorite blogging artist, Edward B. Gordon, wrote that his post of yesterday was done strictly from memory. It was amazing and you should really check it out. It was interesting to do...I didn't expect to enjoy the whole process as much as I did. Tomorrow I think I will paint some drift wood that I have in my house from one of my beach combing days!

Trees along the Buttonwood Pond

This was an amazingly beautiful day. The sun was bright and clear but the strangest thing was that it would just start to rain with the sun fully shining! Big rain fell twice for 10 minutes or so and the sun and rain together just intensified all of the colors. The tree bark became dark and the leaves just became shiney and brighter! It was stunning! It was so warm that people at Buttonwood Park just let it rain on them as they walked around accepting the refreshing showers! Great to be part of such a gorgeous day!

Youth Summer Service Corp

I was taking photos this morning at Buttonwood Park and on my way to leave, a group of teens asked me to take their picture. So of course I did. When they asked what I was going to do with them, I told them...if any come out good, I will make a painting out of it and post it on my blog. So here it is. I don't know the model's name but he did a great job posing. So if you happen to see this post, thank you! One of your friends may be next :-). P.S. Thanks to the whole corp for the great work you are doing in the park. It looks so much better!
