Baton Rouge in Bloom, 9x12 oil on canvas board (unframed)

In March, Baton Rouge, Louisiana explodes in azaleas. This is a painting done in studio from a photo taken in the old Garden District in Baton Rouge. That same day I had spent three hours painting another scene on site catty corner to this one. So, in studio, I very much remembered the lighting and shadows of that day. So, I feel that this painting, although done from a great photo, captured even more of the true ambient light and colors of that marvelous morning.
