A Day Painting at the Johnson Estate!

On Wednesday, March 20, the Vernal Equinox...aka first day of spring...we had a wonderful opportunity!  We  painted at the estate of Lavon and Glenn Johnson, our most gracious hosts, at the north end of Polynesia Court, which I now call the Johnson Botanical Garden!  A large compound developed by talented and perceptive landscape architects working with the design aesthetic of the home owners, the property includes a lovely home, many paths and structures, plants of all sorts with many beautiful sculptures tucked here and there, pools, docks, an orchid house, and even a pocket-sized butterfly garden.  Overcast skies gave way to full sunshine and clear blue above, while the flowers and plants below were the subjects of many paintings...and many photographs were taken for future artworks.  Warm thank-yous to the Johnsons for sharing their paradise with us!
