I painted this in the studio today based on photos and memory from my walk last week at the arboretum. As Jan Norsetter suggested I desaturated the color so the photos were black and white to help with shapes and values and I tried to remember the clolors. I find it hard to make skies blue enough with oil paint so I think I will try again with pastels. I tried to paint as if I was outdoors and finished in 90 min.
