Art in the Garden Party

The guests were greeted with

sunshine, blue skies, and cool ocean breezes...

The perfect garden party weather

There was a constant flux of camaraderie, creativity and conversations...

Sherry Ford's lovely watercolor rendering of the garden fountain was created...

The swing was a favorite perch,

and the talented Lorenzo George gifted the guests with conte sketches

by 6:00 cocktails with excited afterglow conversations were enjoyed

then an impromptu dinner was created and served alfresco style in the courtyard

the party finally coming to a close at 10:30 pm

having been enjoyed by all...

Here is a snap shot of Mary Aslin's pastel painting begun in the garden

(see top photo of her working on this piece )
