Painted en plein air in Clayton, New York, this piece captures a waterfront garden overlooking the Thousand Islands, lovingly tended by the same gardener for years beside the beloved local restaurant, Bella’s.
As I painted, locals stopped to talk and share stories while the late summer flowers, lake light, and winding garden path slowly came alive on the canvas.
This painting preserves not only the beauty of the garden itself, but the care, consistency, and sense of community that have quietly shaped this little corner of the river for years.
