    Painting Azaleas at Auburn Lake

    June 5, 2022 by ProfK 2 Comments

    I’ve always admired a pair of azalea bushes at Mount Auburn Cemetery’s Auburn Lake. Their remarkable magenta and rose colors astound me. A Cypress tree provides a sheltering border. I love to paint in this quiet, magical area, especially in springtime.

    It’s a very relaxing spot, very meditative. The only sounds I hear are birds singing. In fact, catbirds often watch me, probably because they build their nests there.

    Be sure to watch the video I made, posted at the end of this article!

    Your new pastel "Lettuce Lake” is really beautiful. Very, very nice.

    My dear sweet sister. I can’t tell you how much I love your pictures. I so much wanted something and was so sorry that I couldn’t pick something out at your sale. On the other hand, I so much wanted something that you had chosen for me. Its been on my mind and suddenly, your beautiful pictures arrived. They are beyond beautiful and I cried when I saw them. Sending you love and my bestness.
