\"Anemone

. Anemone coronaria<\/p><\/div>\n

My Garden and my Art go side by side. Both require me to make aesthetic judgments about composition, scale, color, texture and style. When I’m deciding where to plant the flowers I’ve hauled home on my endless trips to the nurseries it doesn’t seem that much different to me then when I’m deciding how to compose them on a two-dimensional surface.<\/p>\n

I think about what style I’m looking for, what colors will work together, whether the scale of the placement works for me. I think about the type of flower and texture of the leaves. I make decisions about the 3D composition of the garden much like the 2D composition decisions on a painting.<\/p>\n

\"Anemone

. Anemone coronaria – Watercolor Painting also, available as a print.<\/p><\/div>\n

The garden adds so many additional layers of complexity since the artwork is moving in time with nature, the seasons, the elements, and time. The painting remains caught in a moment.<\/p>\n

Capturing that ephemeral moment is so gratifying to me in my Fine Art. I control it, unlike my Garden which is usually out of control.<\/p>\n

This watercolor painting is available directly from me, Mary Ahern, as an archival print on Fine Art Paper, double matted and ready for framing.<\/p>\n

Please contact the Artist directly for purchase information.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
