Ewwwww!!!! What a special, special honor! Linda and Jane, our fearless plein air leaders, requested permission for a small group of us to paint on the grounds of Curtis Mansion in Saline. If you’ve ever been downtown, you can’t miss the towering, grey-green Victorian house on a couple of shaded acres on Main Street. I’ve wanted to do a pastel house portrait of the mansion for years, but very few people are allowed on the grounds. We spent a glorious full day there, and I managed to do 3 pastel paintings in the hot sun. Thank goodness hubby John was a life saver and brought lemonade to the group!

If you are interested in a pastel commission or watercolor commission of your home, please contact me.
