Titled:  Lovebugs Welcome 9 x 12 Watercolor Plein Air Camp Hill 2012 Tuesday, June 4, 2012 Painted on North 17th Street.  What attracted me to this scene was the two colors of clematis growing up the side of the arbor, the contrasting white of the porch and arbor against the dark railing and airiness of the tree.  A beautiful garden awaits me on Wednesday...I can't wait!   Linda Young Watercolors P O Box 941 Carlisle, Pa. 17013 [...]
