Pagoda

When a friend invited me to paint today at the Montreal Botanical Gardens, I jumped at the chance. I hadn’t visited there in I don’t know how long and if it wasn’t on the other end of the city I would certainly be spending some serious time there. This was done in the Chinese Garden, but we also spent time in the equally stunning Japanese Garden. This makes up for our not being able to paint in Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden. For some reason they thought we might take up too much space with all our gear but it’s one of the highlights of Portland and I regret that I never made it there on my own.
