The last day of summer this year happened to land on my last day in Paris - and the end of the adventure sparked by the amazing @beauty.in.reverie retreat. The sun glowed, the garden was at its most radiant and I sketched for hours - until the whistle blowing of the park guards let us know it was time to leave. I was as sad to close my sketchbook and wander away from the garden as I was to say goodbye to this amazing creative journey. I’m still processing everything learned from @themintgardener @teressajohnson and @_karamercer and from the flurry of messages in our group What’s App chat, we’re all having that “end of summer camp” feeling. It’s hard to say goodbye to wonderful friends. But new seasons await - and I feel so grateful to be bringing the magic from this journey forward with me into Fall. Happy Autumn, everyone. Hope it’s beautiful season, full of love, friendship, adventure and memories for you. 🌸🍁🍂 #paris #myparissketchbook #sketchingparis #paintingparis #watercolorsketch #watercolorsketchbook #watercolorsketching #parisart #jardinduluxembourg #parisgardens #jeannepaintsparis #jeannemckayhartmann #idreamofstudios
