It was a stifling hot day when I traveled to Erin’s Meadow Herb Garden near Oak Ridge to paint en plein air.
Of course, there was plenty to paint in the shade, but the scarlet bee balm, so well posed in front of the red barn, with rosemary and lavender alongside, sealed the deal. It almost sealed my fate due to the heat. Besides being a wonderful place to paint, there is lots to learn about essential oils, cooking and medicinal herbs. Tell them this painter sent you.
