Azalea Park, Step 2

 

Reference Photos

 

These are three of the photos I took that day.  You can see how I took liberties with the scene, especially showing more of the water than I could really see.  I also accentuated the light on the path and the way it turned behind the azalea bushes. 

The painting will be based on the plein air sketch but I will use these photos as reference information.
