Hydrangea Festival

Yesterday was the Hydrangea Festival and every artist is assigned an area for painting. I painted in the Camp Ground. This is an old religious site that evolved into very small houses that then grew into closely packed houses that are mainly rentals. They are all very interesting; some originals that you could not get a family size pizza into. Lots of hydrangeas grow on Cape Cod. There is no shortage of places to paint. I am not a flower painter but liked the area with its hill and tall trees.

Campground Beauty

The Harwich Garden Club sponsored a paintout in the Campground of HarwichPort. This is a busy beehive of small houses with wonderful gardens. We were to paint a house with a garden of hydrangeas. It was sunny and bright and there were plenty of people on the tour. Other painters were there and many stopped to chat. I heard much of the history of the place as I was located outside of the historian's place and she gave information to anyone stopping. It was fun. I am not a flower painter so chose to compose more structure than garden.
