Daffodils, the first signs of spring, 7 x 7 x 1 inches, white floater frame

I’ve always loved paintings of gardens.  Especially cottage gardens with their less than manicured plantings. The riot of colors and textures that create a kaleidoscope of hues don’t always make sense to the casual observer but somehow thrill to the senses.

This is what I try to capture in these small-scale abstract paintings of gardens. I think of Impressionist paintings where the garden gets lost in a dizzying arrayment of lively brush strokes. The closer one gets to the painting, the more abstract it becomes.

Many women artists worked from gardens in their own backyards, often due to financial or social constraints that discouraged them from frequenting public spaces. I like to think I am honoring these artists by carrying on the tradition of painting cottage gardens, sometimes from my own garden, which I tend to throughout the growing season.

Made on a small scale and framed in a wide floater frame so they can be moved easily without the need of a wall mount, these paintings are intended to bring color and texture into small spaces, countertop corners, and bookshelves.

How to display:

This original work of art will not fade or discolor when displayed in indirect sunlight. The surface is coated with an acid-free covering so it may be displayed near a water source (coffee centers and bathrooms seem to be popular places to display my work these days). If the artwork gets damp, it will dry without warping.
