Japanese Garden

Japanese Garden, 2.5" x 3.5"

Painted from photos taken on an outing to Delaware Park in Buffalo NY, on a hot summer day.

Favorite part: the multi-colored tree at the top of the steps.

Tangle

I love a wild, tangled garden. There can be such relaxed beauty there, as the light filters through the mess of flowers and leaves. (There's a metaphor for my life there, I think!) At any rate, the light in this one pleases me, as does the palette of colors. 


Painted in gouache on Bristol vellum, 2.5" x 3.5".

Georgia Garden

Nope, I don't live in Georgia! This is a photo that Phyllis Franklin allowed me to use, taken in early spring in a garden near her home. It's simply breathtaking to a New Mexico girl to see all that green, all those lush flowers and the dazzling azaleas! I had to give it a whirl.

I like the sense of the light encircling the big tree, which remains mostly in shade. It gives a nice path for the eye. My favorite part is the texture and colors on the tree trunk, however. It stabilizes the composition, like the hub of a wheel.

It's back to my usual 2.5" x 3.5" format, this time on Bristol paper.
