‘Ghost Garden’ was started just after I broke my right wrist in early October 2022, a mere two months after moving to Decatur GA. Being right handed, I had to quickly become more ambidextrous if I wanted to paint. Happily, I’m an abstract painter, not a violinist, so in short order, I was up and running.
I was enjoying my first autumn in Georgia, it’s a beautiful season here! - and started the painting inspired by the colors I was seeing. Trees don’t really lose their leaves until late November here, I learned, but the colors and the light were changing. As the purples and oranges appeared in layers in this piece, so did the misty center of the painting.
I started seeing the ghosts of last summer’s garden, and decided that this piece was about that - seasonal changes, and also the big changes in my own life. Not to mention the massive changes on earth, for us all.
We are really living in a time of big transformation. ‘Ghost Garden’ features the spirit of yesterday’s flowers, with a promise for the ones still to grow.
Acrylic on panel mounted to cradled wood, ‘Ghost Garden’ needs no frame, though you can certainly add one if you like. 16” x 20” x 1.5”. Shipping included in the price listed here.
