Today was the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Plein Air Painting Day in Boothbay Harbor and the weather was great! About 60 artists participated and the gardens looked lovely. I was particularly taken with the wonderful sculptures and couldn't resist a scene that included this beautiful example, which gets a lot of attention from the visitors. It turns and flexes in the wind and the fronds are always moving. I hope I give a flavor of that in the painting. "Garden Scultpure" is a 6"X6" oil - SOLD.
