PS. It has come to my attention that Bishops Close Elk Rock Garden has been sold. At least there is a sale pending as of December 12, 2022,  and I don't know if it is open to the public. If I can confirm that the Garden is open to the public, I will schedule a paint-out there this Spring. This may be our last chance to paint there.
