It's Valentine's Day and what better day than this to turn our thoughts to Spring and to the beautiful flowers that appear? This is a painting of our local B&B which of course is covered with snow right now. Living in this part of the country, we are treated to the wonders of each season
as it unfolds with an endless array of raw material both for painting and for photography. Here is an example of the transition between a photograph as it becomes a painting. Artistic licence gives us the opportunity to embellish where we see fit. The camera helps us to see the mechanical delineation of the architecture while the artist's eye interprets it through the stroke of the brush. This was not a commission but rather a painting done because of the love of the subject matter. Who wouldn't want to visit this garden!
