Her artwork is varied with a strong thread of serenity amongst every piece.

In her painting I see clearly the design style for a tiny lake with island on their property.

Arcadian Idyll.

Thomas Cole's, The Arcadian or Pastoral State, 1834, above.

A pastoral rustic poem of utopian life. Harmony with Nature.

Does her beloved quite understand where she's heading? No, but he's trusting her thru the process, to results.
.
My beloved puts pin to balloon, announcing more than once, 'you can't live in a perfect little garden world'. Knowing the words have no value to my reality. Centuries worth of other people too.
.
Amazing how visceral, attraction or repulsion, a rustic garden affects people.

Both paintings are lovely, but the one with the boats really speaks to me. It is wonderful!
We may not 'live in a perfect garden world', but we can create little havens of paradise here on earth. Havens that inspire and encourage us. That fill our hearts with hope, peace and joy. Places to meditate and be rejuvenated.
