RoozenGaarde—April Morning

A scintillating morning at RoozenGaarde in the Skagit Valley of Washington was the source for this prismatic image. I began the painting with a chartreuse imprimatura which was the electric color I felt in the air. These ancient apple trees were part of the original plantings and are my favorite things in the garden. They provide an amazing foil for the lush colors of the tulips spilling out of the beds.
