CNC Garden Tour June 2025

Saturday June 21, 2025, it was my privilege to be able to paint in the garden on Susann Lane.

I’ve learned the hard way, from painting outdoors every week, that I need to stay in the shade on hot days like this.

These homeowners have beautiful native trees, so it wasn’t hard to find shade.

Nestled into the hillside, the pool house and swimming pool looked very inviting and inspired me to take lots of photos for reference.

I started several paintings in both acrylics and watercolors but wasn’t able to finish anything. So I’m glad I have so many reference photos. And that I took and displayed 3 of my finished paintings so guests and visitors could see some of my work.

It was a good day and I’m happy to support the Cincinnati Nature Center by doing this!
