This painting was started on-site at the Lawn and Garden Show in March, 09, as a demonstration. I was working with the near-by display of hanging baskets of ferns, gourds, birdhouses and other hanging plants. The painting then sat in my studio for about 8 months with unresolved areas. I was invited to show my work at a Fall Festival at Neumeier's Nursery in October and with the atmosphere there, painiting plein-air and talking with people about my work, I was able to finish this piece, including the silouettes of two figures. This is a very festive Festival.
