There were many people out walking their dogs at Finnerty Gardens on this day. It was extremely chilly, as you can see from the way these folks were bundled up!
Sometimes I have to sit for some time before inspiration strikes. This day was like that. It was cold and a little dull out. I was grumpy! I stayed with the feelings and let Mother Nature work her magic on me. After about a half hour I felt moved to paint this Oregon Grape in all her glory!
