Finishing Touches

Gardener - Giverny 
11" x 14" Oil on Panel

I started this painting a year ago.  The resource material was not the best; however, I decided to proceed. 
I spent a day painting in Giverny,with my students, a day that was closed to the general public and open to painters. Keeping us company were the many gardeners who are employed to maintain the grounds in the style of the master, Monet.  
I have been looking at this painting for a long time, knowing it was unfinished, waiting for the moment of thunder, and it came this morning.  Sometimes it is better not to think so much, just let the art flow.
I hope you enjoy this piece.  It is a memory!
