I had noticed the Gazebo in the Ruth T. Cottom Garden the day before when I had driven to see where Barclay Friends was located and to get an idea of what to expected painting there. I was attracted by the white wood of the Gazebo against the dark green background and all the flowers in front as you walked down the path. I also liked that there was a lot shade there. I was able to stand under a tree and paint the picture.
I really enjoyed painting “Enjoying the Gazebo”. I tried to keep it loose and avoid detail. When I about half done, one of the residents walked up and sat in the structure so I included her in the picture. Unfortunately she left a little before I finished and I failed to get her name.
