Each year I am invited to paint at a property on the Garden Tour organized by the Cliff Rogers Library. It is their biggest fundraiser and it draws an impressive number of people. Who wouldn't want to stroll through the very prettiest gardens in the local area and support this lovely small independent library as well. I look forward to tour day each year and getting to capture the beauty of these gardens.
I was assigned an expansive garden in North Marshfield that abuts the North River. The mature plantings were perfectly balanced with many of the specimens in full bloom. I chose a border planting that had a black wrought iron fence and gate as a backdrop. I included this lovely woman as she admired a very unusual clementis that had purple bell shaped flowers. As for the painting, the thick paint application that I like works particularly well for lush and vibrant garden scenes like this one.
