Imagine stepping into the Harkness Rose Garden in Waterford, CT, where vibrant flowers sway gently in the breeze, and the soothing sound of the ocean creates a serene backdrop. This painting, created en plein air on location, captures that very essence—inviting you to pause, take a deep breath, and soak in the beauty of nature.
The lush landscape bursts with color, showcasing blooming roses and delicate florals in shades of pink and purple. Sunlight filters through the garden, casting warm highlights and soft shadows, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The carefully manicured hedges and the distant ocean view complete the scene, making you feel as if you could step right into this peaceful haven.
As an artist, I find inspiration in the little things—how light dances through the leaves, the gentle sway of petals in the wind, or the way a place can evoke both joy and nostalgia. This piece is a celebration of those fleeting moments, a reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple beauty that surrounds us every day.
Whether you’re a garden enthusiast, a lover of coastal New England, or simply someone who finds peace in nature, this painting brings a sense of calm and wonder into any space. Seeing it in your home is like opening a window to a favorite place—a daily invitation to pause and be present.
I’ve created a larger studio version of this painting in acrylics, allowing me to refine the details while keeping the lively energy of the original plein air study.
