Last weekend was the garden tour where I had the pleasure of painting before more than 1300 people at a local garden. It was 2 days of clouds with intermediate rain the 1st day. While most people would abandon such inconviences to paint, I stuck it out to be rewarded with witnessing 100s of smiles from the ticket holders experiencing what I named "the cracker jacks effect" . As they approached the dutch door to peek inside, this whimsical playhouse shared the hidden prize- a moment of magic from the garden owners past staging a teddy bear tea party scene tucked warm and cozy for adults to recollect thier children or childhoods. And the painting I made wasn't too bad for a day most would consider to be a wash out. -G.A. experiencing the silver lining of a day filled with grey clouds.
