Chinese Garden pond Painting

In my watercolor painting of the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library in Pasadena, I sought to capture the serene beauty and vibrant essence of this enchanting space through an impressionist lens. The composition bursts with rich hues, from deep emerald greens to vivid splashes of crimson and gold, reflecting the lush foliage in the pond and focusing on the intricate details of the garden. With each brushstroke, I aimed to convey a fresh perspective, emphasizing the play of light and shadow that dances across the leaves and blossoms. The result is a lively tableau that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil atmosphere, evoking the feeling of wandering through the garden and experiencing its harmonious blend of nature and culture. This is a small painting but up close it captures the essence of my experience at the botanical garden.
