Gardens

I’m thinking of adding more to my garden series while Spring blooms all around us in New York. The series contains oil paintings and drawings with pastels and watercolors on paper. The artwork depicted what I saw within the gardens- the colors, the light reflected on form, and the kinetic energy that they manifested within themselves. These are gardens that I painted that began within my old home of the East Village, and they continued onward to Brooklyn, where I envisioned the energy within the concrete yards of Clinton Hill.

Below are some of the pastel drawings of the garden series. I switched from pastel to watercolor and attempted to capture the brightness and beauty of the colors that I saw and felt while I focused in on little details of nature that grew within our very urban landscape.
