Painted on the first day of April, 2003, this English cottage garden is a springtime delight! Clouds of delicate pink blossoms fill the gracefull branches of the crabapple tree in the foreground, and the rose bushes are heavy with the first blooms of the season. Vines of deep purple clematis frame the doorway of this quaint and rustic English style cottage.
Surprisingly, this painting depicts a scene right here in Southern California. This charming English cottage garden can be found at beautiful Descanso Gardens in La Canada, California. Descanso is a spanish word which means a place of repose. Indeed, whenever I find the need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I find myself heading to Descanso Gardens to paint.!
