Garden Grace - original watercolor *SOLD

Garden Grace is a 18" x 24" watercolor painting on 140 lb watercolor paper. With this piece I wanted the feel of a warm sunny afternoon which is why I left a lot of open space where the sun would be so warm that it washed out areas. 

My mother is known to be singing in the garden as she works with her flowers and vegetables. On a sunny summer day you will  find her with her laundry basket full of fresh veggies and a content expression on her face. I imagine I am not the only one with a gardener Mom. This painting is a tribute to the graceful ladies who love to play in the dirt and admire the beauty that comes from a patch of dirt that has been well loved.
