Lori's Garden

On a June morning in Newburyport, I stumbled on a garden so full of life it felt almost impossible — iris, peonies, a weathered stone figure holding his harvest amid the abundance. I set up my oils and tried to catch it before the light changed. This is a small study, 9x12, painted on location. Sometimes the small paintings teach you the most. #pleinairpainting #newburyport #museumofoldnewbury #richardburkejones
