Clarkston Garden Walk

CLARKSTON GARDEN WALK

Three acres of amazing beautiful gardens, paths through the woods and statues. Again, I could have picked several places to paint. I chose this spot as you enter the garden. The light shining through  the banana trees and the beautiful blue colors with flowers and the peacock caught my eye. What a peaceful and relaxing spot to paint. This painting is an 8x10" canvas in acrylic. The owner has purchased and in his collection.
Both the Troy and Clarkston garden walks are in July each year if you are interested in them.


 

Troy Garden Walk

 



TROY GARDEN WALK

This is a plein-air painting that I created during the Troy garden walk. I also worked on it at home as I can't get all that done in one day. As I walked around all the landscape and lovely flowers, it took me a little bit to decide just where to paint. It turns out the spot that spoke to me was one of the home owners favorite. I also love how they incorporated some old iron pieces among the landscaping. The little statue of is painted in memory of Jack. This painting is 16x16" in Acrylic on canvas. Purchased and in collection by he homeowner.
