sketchcrawl in Excelsior Springs

sketchcrawl in Missouri, a photo by vickylw on Flickr.

We drove to Missouri on Saturday for sketchcrawl, meeting in a small park on Lover's Lane that is more like the edge of the woods. I had intended to try to paint a loose landscape of the area, with either one of the foot bridges or a certain tree that has partly fallen across the path.

But there were so many wildflowers in bloom, they seemed to be begging to be sketched. Jeanette (aka Mistress of Longears) corrected me re: the rue anemone, telling me that it is called FALSE rue anemone.

Sorry all- I'm still learning how to post and showing the actual photo eludes me.

Note from Kate: Piece of cake, girl, there are a couple of ways to do it. I added this, and will give you some tips offlist!
