Schedel Gardens

"Schedel Gardens" - watercolor 12" x 9.5" painting of the Schedel Gardens in Elmore, Ohio. Absolutely stunning garden... I chose these dramatic stairs that lead down into the gardens. (unframed)

I am drawn not only to the beauty within a scene, but am careful to include beckoning elements of light/shadow, repetition and depth. Scenes chosen revolve around a dance of light/shadow and its own sense of invitation to explore; pathways are common to include for this reason. Quiet, hidden, reflective/introspective....lush; these are things I look for. I am polarized by scenes that make me forget my troubles and I feel "enveloped", even if just for a moment.
