IN THE GARDEN

IN THE GARDEN 

 9x12 oil on museum quality board

I am currently painting a series of spring gardens in which I spent hours last March in both Georgia and South Carolina.  The air is heavy with humidity, rain abundant allowing plants to explode with color.  I love the glow of the colors in the garden backlit with sun.

SPRING GARDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA  SOLD

    Here is my favorite landscape subject: a flower garden.  When I visit South Carolina in the spring, I find it very difficult to leave.  Charleston is a town of beauty and history.

    I had trouble painting the grass as there are so many greens.  Initially my green was too cool which caused the entire painting to be almost completely cool.  I think I am happy with it now, but if you have suggestions for improvement, I would love to hear them.

   Because this Little Gem has a black painted edge, it looks great in a mahogany frame, a floater frame, or displayed on a tabletop easel.
