The original 9 x 12 watercolor artwork blends realistic details with a fresh and expressive use of color, inviting viewers to experience the garden’s vivid and joyful presence.

I can never get enough of the beauty I find in nature. . . the sunlight drifting through leaves to highlight some small flower that otherwise may have gone unnoticed . . . the exquisite harmony of a subtle color palette that blends into a beautiful composition . . . all accompanied by birdsong and fresh air. Painting for me is an emotional response to my surroundings and an attempt to capture a fleeting moment in time to share with others who may not have the privilege to experience it firsthand.
