Rose Garden Harkness Park, Waterford, CT

One of my favorite places in Connecticut is Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford, CT. The views are breath-taking from the backside of the Eolia Mansion. The Renaissance Revival mansion offers countless scenes to paint of their beautiful gardens. I just get so carried away when I'm there.

This piece was created late in June. I just loved spot, it's kind of tucked away under the canopy of a tree but the view looking over the exquisite sunken garden out to the ocean water is what makes my heart sing!
