This imagined landscape is a channeling of years of different painting experiences. Of late I've been starting paintings with only vague mental images of where I want to go. Much as authors describe how characters they've created later take over and write the story themselves, these paintings take on a life of their as they develop.
This house has the most amazing garden. Two years ago I passed this spot and made a mental note to return to paint the scene. I tried to get back that year, but I was too late. The blooming season is relatively short, and when I passed this spot this year I immediately went back to my studio, grabbed my gear and returned to paint knowing just how hard it is to get the timing right.
I picked this unusual long format (8x20 inches) to get the feel of the long narrow garden along the side of the properly. This gives the piece a very unique quality.
This is oil on linen mounted on board (gatorboard). I'm making it avaialble unframed.

Book Highlights
Sorry - the book is currently out of stock.
This is the largest piece I've done completely plein air (outdoors) to date (24x30 inches). I love how it turned out.
I had a number of consecutive days available with fantastic weather projections, so I took it upon myself to try to work a large piece.
I have a blog entry describing the creation of this piece, which you can find here: http://timonsloane.com/blog/painting-large-format-plein-air-outdoors
This is oil on cradled masonite board (half-inch deep cradle). I can be hung as-is, or framed if you prefer. It is currently priced as available unframed. An image of it framed is included for reference. The framed price is $3200.
