Brilliance on a Gloomy Day

A painting by Susi Havens-Bezaire completed on October 3, 2014

Karen and Mark McVay opened their beautiful flower farm for OPAS members to paint during the 2014 OPAS fall competition. It was raining so hard that 3 of us took shelter in one of their open ends hoop houses to paint the exotic dahlias in bloom. Otto's Thrill dahlia was at least 9" in diameter and pretty spectacular!
