Statue: hints of Italian & French landscapes. Garden: impatiens, astilbe and the flower brushed behind the child's right leg. Simplicity has the greatest impact in a landscape. Photographer: portrait shot, framing, lighting, ahhhh. Marketer: you understand gardens are seductive, joyful, easy.
This business knows landscapes are art. How many times have I designed the finial below?
More times I've designed this focal point urn, below. Every urn in your landscape must be so wonderful it can remain unplanted. How do your urns look empty?
I have a pair of these urns, below. The lid comes off. Why should it? They do their job without soil, plants, water, fertilizer. Intelligent Design takes on new meaning in the landscape.
Place this French planter, below, contrasting with a curving terrace, step or lawn.
A wall fountain with depth, below. I like to put these on walls with a demilune or sofa table underneath. Add an evergreen vine to the wall.
KISS (keep it simple sweetie), below. The lines on this birdbath are of the ages. Do you know why this is a true birdbath? It's shallow. Birds don't like water more than 1" deep.
A great sibsidiary focal point, below. Place under a bush at the dripline. Site where you can see it from the house.
The pieces, above, fit most landscapes. Why? They've been proven thru the centuries to accent a landscape and not diminish it. Understatement is their shout. .
Tara's Focal Point Question:
Will your focal points be fought over at your estate sale?
