This past Saturday, Mrs. Pom called me and said, 'Let's go to Wave Hill and do some plein aire." "OK!" was my reply, afterall, I had a couple of hours with nothing to do (never mind all the graduation parties that were scheduled for the weekend). Well, I did not know how beautiful Wave Hill is. I have never been there and to this day cannot fathom why. It is gorgeous! Flowers, trees, birds, bugs, beautiful vistas of the Hudson...How is it I never knew this gem was here? Well, I did more photography than painting...enjoy!
this is a tree believe it or not. i couldn't find the name, but so cool

| This tree was immense in size. In hindsight, I should've had Loretta stand over there |
 |
| so many specimens |
 |
| my favorite, something about this relaxes me. I don't know if it is the shape or the hues of greens AND it has been turning up in my intuitive painting...hmmmm.... |
 |
| there is a wonderful water garden complete with carp (although i failed to photo one) |
 |
| pods! |
 |
| don't you love the twisty viny wisteria? |
 |

 |
| clematis |
 |
| I want to do all these dish gardens |
 |
| poppies, poppies, poppies |
 |
| and poppies |
 |
| and poppy pods! |
 |
| I just love this whole setting, from the pot in the center to the little bench including the ppl sitting... |
 |
| how cool is this? |
 |
| stunning |
 |
| oh right, the reason we went there in the first place! |
 |

and Mrs. Pom with her beautiful journal
(I should've photographed the finished product, it came out gorgeous)
I have about 90 photos in total. from herbs to perrenials this place is amazing! It is truly inspirational and the perfect place to go when I have artist block. The array of texture, composition, shapes and color! oh and now of course, I want to replant all my flowers! |
