Garden

My parents asked me to make a realistic painting of their beloved garden at their farm, where I grew up. They wanted a memory of this special place, when they moved to an apartment for elderly people.

During the summer of 2019 I painted the garden.

It was my fathers idea. I asked him which part of the garden he would like me to paint and he pointed out the view from the kitchen, where he would have his daily meals.

Now the painting has its place on the wall in their new apartment, above the dining table. It has become a precious memory. Also for myself, now I cannot visit the old farm anymore.

On this page some pictures of the process.
