Falls View, Greenville's Fall's Park

"In Memory"

6x6 oil on Raymar panel

$150

I love this scene in Fall's Park, here in Greenville. I have taken numerous photos of it and painted it en plein air twice, and now I'm so glad I did, because that lovely old sprawling tree is gone!!! I couldn't believe it when I went back there, expecting to see it last fall and instead of a shady. lovely spot, it was bare and sunny. I really miss it. I'm sure they had a good reason for cutting it down, that big branch may have cracked or something. They have planted a new little tree there, but it will be a long time before it can give comfortable shade like this one did.

Garden Stairs, Falls Park, Greenville, SC

I braved the oppressive heat to paint outdoors today in Greenville's beautiful Falls Park. These stone stairs with the tree arching above it always attracts me. It's especially beautiful in the humid morning light. Sweat was pouring down my back and off my face as I painted. I did it rather quickly knowing the light was changing fast and I was miserable!!!
