Spring into the Garden Maude Spring 2004
We can all share the joy of a garden - as an active participant or as an observer - from an informal window box to an enormous formal landscape. Celebrate our garden heritage with Wyllie O Hagan's paintings and prints.
Denise Wyllie's paintings of RHS Fellow, Edward Augustus Bowles’ renowned garden at Myddelton House displays a vision of depth and vitality encountered within his landscape.
“Being alone with nature allows me to connect with private thoughts and memories. As a child I explored my grandmother’s wild garden, which was abundant with thorny roses and fallen hollyhocks, and I developed an admiration for garden plants allowed to escape and become unruly and rampant.”
In contrast Clare O Hagan’s suburban garden, observed in vibrant detail, illustrates a passion for rich colour, texture and pattern.
“As a child growing up in the Irish countryside, garden boundaries blur with wild ferns, blossom, leaf and rock. A secret ritual of Spring was gathering flowers (from other people’s gardens) and hiding them in a mossy green hollow at the foot of a tall tree.”
Prints are available online in the Art for Sale section of the website in the Landscape and Garden Section.
