Plein Air– Glenwood Gardens

Glenwood Gardens 3
12" x 16", Oil on Canvas
6/2013

Finally got out on a Thursday to paint "en plein air" with SWOPA group and THERE WAS NO RAIN! Trip was to Glenwood Gardens Park in Woodlawn, right next to Glendale. The park straddles the West fork of the Mill Creek as it drains out of Winton Woods lake. The previous owners bought the property because it reminded them so much of the Cottswolds in England, which they loved so much. They even recontoured the valley floor to make it roll more. This painting is of one of the very large and gnarley sycamore trees that populate the valley.
