Star Gazers

Star Gazers  8x12  oil on linen en plein air

This is another plein air painting from this past saturday's wet paint event in Douglas.  This was such a treat to paint because while I was standing at my easel the wonderful scent of these beautiful lilies was filling the air.  It was early in the morning.  The dew was still on the grass, I had my cup of coffee and the robins were searching for breakfast all around me.  How delightful!
I love the way these lilies arch so gracefully and their stamens reach for the ground or sometimes look like they want to find the sun, curving up so delicately!
