Forest Hills Gardens

I felt like painting flowers after work.

The trick was finding some.

They are in the cemetery, but the big one by me closes at 5pm.

Then I thought I could walk over to Forest Hills Gardens, people are nuts about their landscaping there.

Most of the flowers seem to have disappeared but there are a few... I found this nice wall with pretty shrubs.

As I set up, a man parked behind me.

He asked if he was blocking me, and I said no. That was really nice of him to ask!

I told him I'll paint the flowers, aren't they wonderful?

As it turns out, it was his house and his flowers!

I never ask if I can set up at any given location, but I also never trespass and I'm always respectful of the environment. Also, people don't ever mind painters. That nice man did not mind at all.
