Johnson City Garden

24x18 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I participated in a paint out in Johnson City during their Lavendar festival.  We stayed in a charming bed and breakfast that had a beautiful garden filled with blooming flowers.  I painted a smaller version of this that sold. This was painted in the studio and painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

I created this from a couple of small studies I created at Clark Gardens in Weatherford, Texas. I did ramp up the colors and texture.  Combining the warms and cool colors together was a balancing act.
