Yesterday I had the pleasure of returning to Brightside gardens in the morning to begin a painting of the two striking Bull Mastiffs guarding the Elysium, garden #15 (where Stanley the beloved pug, and other animals rest). It was a little chilly, but I had two sweaters. Lots of chipmunks ran around.

Next, after two hours of painting, I cleaned my brushes, and enjoyed speaking to Mr. Newhall about his gardens and the history of the pug. The Bull Mastiff was bred into the pug! Very unexpected! Then I moved back to Augeas's Stables to continue work on the Hercules painting. I adjusted the perspective so that more of the frieze on the side could be seen in the painting.

Then it was time to return to the city!
