When I saw the roses spilling over that picket fence - I HAD to stop and paint them!! This place always captures my artistic eye when I'm in Fairfield, Illinois. The Victorian on Main is a wonderful Bed and Breakfast full of charm and culinary delights - and a lovely place to visit! I knew I would use oils for this lush garden scene, and I sketched it on the panel with a paintbrush, and started laying in those lights, darks, and central colors where I saw them. It was a cool morning, so standing in the sun to paint this warmed me up after an early morning paint in full shade. It is so inspiring to paint a place like this - I lost track of time a little! What better way to spend a couple hours than painting such beauty? Painting number 4351 in 4351 days.
