Faust Park

 
 
 
Thornhill
 
 



Painting in front of Thornhill,  the home of  Governor Bates, the 1st Governor of Missouri.  He and his family are buried in a small cemetery up the hill behind the house.  I was actually painting the barn that was off to the side from the house and the picture was taken by the park ranger who likes to photograph people enjoying the park.

It was a beautiful day at Faust Park to paint.  I love this area around the Bates historic home.  It's so peaceful and quiet.  There are many subjects to choose from but this morning this red wheelbarrow caught my eye.  The barn is an interesting structure with it's rock footing.

Once again a beautiful day at Lafayette Park.  I tried not to fuss too much with the details of the posts even though they have some interesting ornamentation.  This bridge is a favorite spot for photographers and as I was leaving a wedding party arrived.  They had a lovely day for a wedding.
