Our plein air group had lots of treats today painting in Jane Kwant's Garden. The great weather and a garden full of gorgeous flowers would have been enough, but Jane also generously provided drinks, yummie brownies, and oranges from her tree! Thanks Jane! We had a lovely time! Sylvia

This was my first time at a SCVWS paintsite. It was a great pleasure to meet so many wonderful artists. I had a lot of fun playing with these Iris. Bonnie Sandler

| Clematis with Bee by Leslie Grimm |
I hadn't intended to paint this bee but it insisted on visiting the clematis, so here it is! Leslie Grimm

| Judy's Iris by Michael Hogan |
Thanks Jane for inviting us to visit. I started a flower painting but, was more interested visually in what was happening between the painters and the flowers, the resonance of garden and figure. Judy was painted in the stealth. I have seen Judy paint before and known her to be an intense observer. I wanted to capture the delicacy of the action. The single flower helps to repeat this theme against dominant color and value mass. Thanks to Jenny and Sylvia without whom, there would not be these opportunities for SCVWS. Michael Rogan

What a smorgasbord of flowers and floral scents at Jane's garden today! Beverages, orange slices and brownies, to boot! I could do this again. I also enjoyed meeting the several newcomers. Laurie Barna

The warmth of the spring sun and the smells of the garden made for a perfect setting. Irises and California Poppies are favorites and I love the contrasting colors. I used some negative painting to create the foliage. What a great day of painting! Mary Paquet

There were so many flowers it was hard to pick one thing to focus on! I was very taken with the lemons, the purple wisteria, and all the different greens...such fun! Sylvia

Jane's garden was colorful and peaceful, and it was a beautiful day; just the right temperature. The treats were lovely too, and much appreciated. Jenny

I enjoyed very much painting at Jane Kwant’s garden, and learning so much from
her about compost and fertilizers. No wonder her garden looks so colorful. Broncha

It was wonderful painting at Jane's garden with our fellow artists. Every corner is a piece of art. Her house is surrounded with a vast variety of beautiful colorful flowers; a lovely vegetable garden; a harmony of flower bearing and fruit bearing bushes; a cute gold fish pond.....and it was a lovely morning!
