Blue Garden

Description

This painting is 60 x 60 cm and is one of the first paintings in my new series: the Garden Series! A visit to the Vordenstein gardens in the autumn of 2022 inspired this and other paintings in my new series. “Blue Garden” is the story of a bit of chance and is an example of staying open through the painting process. My intention with this painting was to make a dense background of green foliage. When I want a dark background, I will sometimes paint the entire surface of the canvas to cover the white or beige of the linen/canvas. This time, I painted the background a dark but brilliant blue. As I progressed with my painting, I found that I didn’t want to cover the blue with the greens as planned. Instead, I kept and enhanced the blue and adapted my idea for the painting. The different positions of the blossoms and the pops of yellow, light green, and white make this painting pop.

This painting is varnished, is outfitted with a hanging system, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
