The garden is a place for trying things: new plants, creative techniques, new combinations. Painting the garden is the same. The plethora of forms, colors, shapes and constant change demand that the artist be open to trying new techniques and constantly search for honest ways to depict what is seen. I like to think of my garden series as searches for what’s “out there.” Exploring with pencil, playing with rollers, trying to find the right color and form – it can be very abstract and real at the same time. Just what I love. Enjoy!
