The Conestoga House Gardens in Lancaster is a heavenly place for plein air artists to paint. Gorgeous flower beds, huge floral planters, and beautiful architecture offer much inspiration for your next painting. Six of us travelled there to paint on a very hot, humid day. The wonderful shade and breezes kept us cool enough to keep working.
