In the White House Gardens


No, not that White House! The one down the gorge, in Hood River. This was part of the Hood River paintout, but I did not sign up to enter the competition--just rode the coat tails of Za, who set up this session out in the glorious fields on a super warm day. We took numerous breaks in the shade of the Arbor Vitae and tried not to expire. I didn't get very far with mine--the canvas was way too big for plein air (for me, anyway). Live and learn. I plan to resume this during the winter months.  I think... perhaps I should wait 'til next summer and go back to the same spot to complete it?
