"From A Garden in Nenthead" - Original Watercolour Painting

£100.00

Product Description


From A Garden in Nenthead is an original watercolour painting by Helen Alice Johnson, created using pen and ink wash. This delicate piece is inspired by a private garden in Nenthead, Cumbria—the highest village in England, sitting at 1500 feet above sea level. Gardening in this rugged landscape poses many challenges, yet the owners of this garden have carved out a vibrant oasis from the surrounding fells. The garden, walled off from the surrounding fields, is a colourful explosion of lupins and other hardy flowers that thrive despite the altitude and weather conditions.

Helen's use of watercolour and ink captures the delicacy of the flowers and the resilience of this high-altitude garden. The subtle shades and precise line work bring the flowers to life, making this piece perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature in its most challenging environments.

The painting comes mounted and unframed, allowing you to choose a frame that best suits your style and decor.
