Open garden ....


This is a scene from the gardens of Llysdinum House, the large country house that overlooks our village. Every year they open the grounds and gardens to the public under the National Gardens Scheme, in aid of charity.

It's a bit of a departure for me as I don't recall ever having painted a garden before. I enjoyed doing it immensely and maybe I'll try some others, but for now, this will add to my collection of local scenes to display at the upcoming Christmas fair.

Acylic on Cryla paper, 12 x 8inches.

Gillian, what a beautiful setting! You have created a most lovely painting of the garden. And may I wish you all the best at the Christmas fair!

What a delightful painting, Gillian! Gardens are such wonderful subjects and places to roam about. I find gardening great therapy too.
Your love for gardens has been well documented!
