SPRINGTIME IN WOODWARD PARK

We are all so happy to finally have some warm spring weather.   We are very appreciative after what seems an overly long and dreary winter. 

Visiting this park is one of the rites of spring in this part of Oklahoma.

Wonderful Woodward Park occupies the corner of 21st and Utica Avenue in Tulsa.  Next door south is the Tulsa Garden Center with its marvelous rose garden and on the southeast corner is the Linnaeus Garden.  All go to make up Tulsa's Eden.

People flock hereto see the azaleas, the pink and white dogwoods, and the colorful tulips, all in a semi-wooded setting.

We painted one of these scenes in my classes this week.   We are practicing for a plein air session on a Saturday.  It will be the first time some will paint outside.

  3. Great composition. The path leads me in, but so do the flowers and how their colors get softer as they go back.
