Dieter's Perennial Garden

This is the finished painting of Dieter's Garden. My first attempt on an 11x14 Masonite board was pleasing, but lacked the vibrancy, colour and life that this one has. I felt if I went bigger, the result would be less cluttered and do more justice to the garden. Hopefully you agree. This is 16x20 on canvas. I like the way the path leads into the painting, and how the colour of the flowers is accented against the darks of the garden. This is some thing that is always a challenge.
