Bayard Cutting Arboretum, Oakdale, NY

Rain and clouds were brewing in the sky, but it didn't stop many PALS from turning up at this favorite location on the south shore of Long Island. It felt more like an autumn day, and even a few (we could count them on 2 hands!) rain drops appeared. I didn't mind much, I thought they might add a bit of drama to my watercolor painting! Artists tend to go with the flow. Even a bit of duck poo on our shoes didn't bother us, since the location is just spectacular. The highlight for me was going inside, yes I said inside, a tree! I could live there happily!
