The Treasury Gardens

Description

Limited Edition Reproduction of 25 Only

This is a commissioned painting for a gallery in Melbourne of the beautiful Treasury Gardens in autumn. It is aiming to capture the dramatic colours and tranquility of the gardens.  The dark branches of the tree with it’s yellow leaves contrast with the many colours of the changing foliage of the garden.  I wanted to depict the colours like a jewelled treasure and the fallen leaves on the water like coins in a box of treasure.

In addition, I wanted to capture the serenity of the gardens with the reflections and stillness of the water and the subtle play of light coming into the garden. I loved painting this image and showing all the contrasting colours and shapes within these beautiful gardens.
