Some of the quietest corners of the garden can also be the most inspiring.
This painting was created en plein air from my patio, where I often sit with my paints and watch the garden slowly change through the seasons. Tucked into the soft shade nearby are several hosta-plants I’ve always loved for their calm presence and graceful leaves.
Hostas thrive in the gentle shade of summer, unfurling their broad green leaves like layered fans. There’s something peaceful about them. Their cool greens and soft curves create a sense of stillness that always makes me pause and breathe a little deeper.
Every year I look forward to the moment when their slender stems rise up and delicate blooms appear. The small lavender or white flowers feel like a quiet celebration after weeks of lush green growth.
Hosta En Plein Air captures that peaceful garden moment, the soft shade, the calm rhythm of summer, and the simple joy of painting a plant that never fails to bring a sense of serenity.
