Painting a Victorian Couple in the Garden

Rod and Gretchen, colored pencil, watercolor, and gouache

Rod Caravella and Gretchen Fenston posed for me in Edwardian attire at the New York Botanical Garden, as part of the fun surrounding their summer exhibition "Impressionism: American Gardens on Canvas."

Last weekend was the Plein Air Invitational, with over 20 outstanding plein air artists coming to the gardens to paint on location. As soon as theres an online gallery of the results, Ill post a link.

Thanks to all who attended and the staff and volunteers at NYBG who engineered the magic.
