With the fall approaching and more rain in the forecast, our mornings are often foggy and present wonderful opportunities to try to capture the misty-ness of the views I see.
I walked to the Azalea Gardens yesterday - the plants moistened with rain and the backdrop a curtain of hazy pines. One of the horticulture classes had just relined the paths with granite screenings, and somehow, the entire area looked fresh and clean -- as though the fog created a backdrop to bring the young plants into the spotlight.
BTW, the young red tree is a Crape Myrtle in wonderful dynamite red that gets more 'What's That!" questions when in full bloom (August).

You captured that fresh, sparkly look of green against green... good job!!!
Lin, this is beautifully rendered, but I have to admire the difficult subjects you tackle! If anyone asked me to draw or paint an azalea bed in fog, I'd squeak and run away in terror!
Wow and Wow again. Such beauty! You did a fantastic job of capturing the misty look -- that's SO hard to do. And the plants in front are wonderfully rich colors against that backdrop. Bravo again!
Hugs,

Lin, it is beautiful. I love that foggy look and bit of red from the tree!
Beautiful Lin. I'm crazy about the fog look. You've really captured it. I says autumn.
I like the foggy background!!! You are always surrounded by such great plants and landscapes. I'd never stop painting.
So soft and misty...beautifully done, Lin!
Beautiful!
I can really see the fog in the trees in the background.
wow! Great misty scene. Glad you survived the hurricanes!
