Chee Kludt Ricketts Farmer's Garden

Watercolor 36.5 x 30.5 $1,200

"This painting is based on memories of irises (divided and shared with me by my daughter, Michelle) that bloom every spring in my garden. The composition echoes the views from my farm garden where I spend countless hours of reflection and inspiration (and weeding!) throughout the growing season each year. I am ever conscious of the majesty of the sky whenever I am outdoors; however, the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Shenandoah National Park help to center and "ground" me in the beautiful surrounding landforms. The irises remind me of the ties that bind me to my family, ties that have become ever sweeter during this unique period of our lives when we have stayed "Close to Home"."
