Elm Grove....How beautiful!

"Flooded Path" Wendie Thompson

The park in Elm Grove was soooo incredibly beautiful this morning. Prairie flowers all around the very full reservoir as far as you could see. I had guessed light attendance for this gathering. Between the Milwaukee Artists Market, The Door County quick paint and two full days of some of the worst rain and flooding this area has ever seen, I was right. But ohhhhh did you guys miss out! Deep threatening sky for most of the morning but not one drop of the promised rain! Thank you to Dorothy at the Dooryard Gallery for hosting us! She would love us to come back!!
