Emily's Garden ~ 10 x 12 Acrylic on Canvas


A few years ago, I visited the Emily Carr House in Victoria, British Columbia. Emily was a famous Canadian Artist and Writer. Her home stands as a museum and as one enters the property, you first notice the impressive yellow Victorian house and then the grounds itself, which has lovely flower beds all around. While I was there, I took the opportunity to take photos of some of the flower beds. Among them was this fenced area off to the side of the house. It caught my eye because it was late summer, the beds were in full bloom, with some being overgrown with an abundance of foliage. Along with the house, this became my main attraction, allowing me to wander off and contemplate.
