Spring, Painting in the Gardens on Green

Patti Russell paints on Friday in the Gardens on Green

What beautiful days for painting! Lucky for us, the weather cooperated and area artists were treated to a two-day plein air painting event set in the new Gardens on Green, next to the Hall County Schools District Office building in historic downtown Gainesville.
