Garden Charm 6x6 oil

On my last post I had spent the morning painting the hillside above Ojai.  When we got back to the Lavendar Inn there was still about an hour or so before I had to get ready for the wedding and Bob had office work.  I took the time to work on a small study of the charming arbor in the yard.  I was a little to close and wished I had given it more room to enter the scene.  It can be hard to paint small.

An hour before the wedding?! You are amazing...as is this piece!

Dana, this is enchanting. Really eye catching. I lived near Ojai in Santa Barbara years ago, before I was old, and it was such a beautiful area.

I loooooove this Dori! So loose and dreamy almost. It's a little jewel!
