This is number 12 of my current series of paintings and drawings of the Chelsea area.

Awakening Statue, Roper's Garden (12) Chelsea Marathon, 10" x 8", Oil board

I visited this garden once or twice in the past and I always thought this was a great place to relax.

But this time around I wasn't going to miss out including it in my Chelsea Marathon!

That's the business taking place in full speed!

I went there on a nice spring evening with my plein-air gearocycle and just got down to painting it!

It was a great day as I also sang while I painted!

Reference pic of the scene, I should have taken it when the light was booming!

But before long the clouds changed and the rains were warning of its arrival, so I had to stop and get going.
