Elysium at Brightside Gardens

Today I returned to Brightside Gardens.  The tree trimmers were at work taking down 100 foot trees near my previous spot, so I wandered over to Elysium, where the beloved pug Stanley rests.

I was struck by the dog on the left.  The entrance to Elysium is between the dogs.

Along the path, I came to Stanley the pug's resting area.  They had him immortalized in bronze.

I sat down and drew the dog on the left.  I loved his expression.  Also, there was lush vegetation around him.  The gardener told me that the dogwood is a white version, along with the boxwoods.
