Just thought I'd share a couple on-location pics from the painting I'm working on for the Historic Annapolis Foundation. As I've mentioned before the painting is not only of The William Paca House but also the very impressive garden that exists outside. What's interesting about the garden is that prior to the 1960's the garden had completely disappeared. Over the years it simply declined to the where it was all but lost. Then in the 1960-70's "extensive excavations and other research revealed the original garden's features and led to their re-creation." Working onsite such as I'm able to do really lends itself to appreciating the comfort and even serenity of the garden. Especially considering how much time I'm typically working within the studio. Though that certainly doesn't mean the garden isn't without it's own version of excitement. I had a quick photo-opp with this colorful leggy fellow busy at work right behind where I was busy at work. Cute, right? Hope you enjoy the pics. Have a great weekend and I'll talk with you on Monday! - D
