This is a walkway I saw in Jefferson City Missouri, and it is so astonishingly beautiful that I photographed it
to share with you. Please don't steal it however!
This second image is also my PHOTOGRAPH, not yet a painting, but I probably will paint it
in time. It is the garden behind the Missouri Governor's Mansion.
This third image is also my photograph of the walkway between the Governor's Garden and the
Governor's Mansion in Missouri.
This is the first time I posted the photographs I took to paint from, but the photos are pretty and I am not sure when I will get these painted, since I have a 48 X 60 painting in progress, and more of the ethnic series to paint. Therefore since summer is approaching and the gardens are so beautiful,you could enjoy the photographs as well. These are photographs of real gardens and not paintings, be sure you understand. I often paint from my imagination but these photos I took because I wanted to paint these scenes. There is a difference,and I want you to understand.
This images were photographed me, Ms Gloria Poole, also known extensively on the web as 'gloriapoole'. Also the paintings on the other pages were painted by me over years of time, since I started painting when I first became a Registered Nurse to de-stress myself.
