Provence Pots and Geraniums - Finished by Marion Hedger

Provence Pots and Geraniums
by Marion Hedger
Oil palette knife painting on canvas panel

This painting was no.13 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. I was quite happy when it was at this stage


But after looking at it for a couple of weeks the lower area of the wall and path needed more definition and the stem on the lhs really bothered me and I had to change it.

Shady Walk, Day 8 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge by Marion Hedger

Shady Walk
Palette knife painting by Marion Hedger
30x40cm on  gallery wrapped canvas
See all my challenge paintings HERE
This is a scene from Hanbury gardens in Italy. I realised I have given this painting the same title as one I painted two years ago for the 2014 challenge. I shall have to think of a new title.

I have been comparing the two paintings and the older painting is much warmer. This has made me think of warming up the shadows in today's painting. What do you think?

In this year's trip during July to the see the lavender we stayed in a small village called Banon. They had this lovely garden which was awash with hollyhocks and located up the hill wil a beautiful view. A peaceful place to sit and contemplate the view of the surrounding country side.

Art Inspiration, Hollyhock public garden in Banon, by Marion Hedger


Art Inspiration Banon, Provence

This public garden was reached by a steep path up to the church at Banon here we stayed overnight on our recent trip. The climb was well worth it to find this garden area in full bloom. Not only was it colourful, but the benches were positioned to give a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside.

Many of the village in this area were full of hollyhocks which seemed to be self-seeded and growing in no soil!

I have painted a small painting of this garden and blocked in a larger one. I am working up to do it as a larger painting still.

If this scene appeals to you, I would glady work with you to paint you your own personal version. Contact me to start the ball rolling.

Summer Scent, Modern Impressionist Garden Art by Marion Hedger

Summer Scent by Marion Hedger
Oil palette knife painting 
24x30cm, MDF canvas panel

The blue pergola this rose and the pink rose grow on was built by my husband. It took quite some time to persuade him but I am so pleased they are built. They provide the perfect support and backdrop to the roses.

Garden Flowers Inspiration - Red Cimbing Roses

Close up crop of current WIP

And the inspiration...

A climbing red rose.

These roses are beautifully formed and have such a wonderful scent.

St Paul, the area I live in, was renowned for its roses. Apparently the hillsides were all covered with rose nurseries and supplied the perfume trade in Grasse. It's surprising that they grow so well as roses are not normally associated with a Mediterranean climate due to the hot summers. We do have quite a bit of rain in April and often into May which probably bolsters them up for their moment of glory.

Here are some photos from an annual rose festival two weeks ago.

Impressionist Garden Art, Summer Essence, oil painting by Marion Hedger

Summer Essence by Marion Hedger
24x30cm (approx. 10x12") on MDF canvas panel
Oil painting using palette knife

This is the finished painting from yesterday's inspiration.

OH the joys of photshop elements !!! First it kept crashing. Then adjusting the colours UGH. It seems that you adjust one to get it just right and it throws the other colours off. My camera always seems to have trouble with the blues.  and in trying to adjust the photo the pink roses have lost there brightness.

This close-up shows them much better.

Garden Flowers Inspiration by Marion Hedger




Work in progress, crop by Marion Hedger


April until June is the nicest time in my garden - first the daffodils start nodding their heads, quickly followed by the early irises and tulips. After tulips come the poppies and then the bearded irises. The colours range from the yellows of the daffs, the reds of the tulips and poppies, through to the purples and blues of the irises.

At the moment, the pinks and reds in the form of climbing roses are taking center stage and I took these snaps for my current painting inspiration.





The top image a teaser for the pink rose painting I am working on at the moment. It's nearly finished so all will be revealed tomorrow.

A corner of my garden where these tall irises grow. They are not as showy as the flag irises by stand taller and proud and cover the garden in a purple haze.

Can be hung without a frame but how it would look in a floater frame.

Every year the poppies self-seed all over my garden, particularly in the lawn. My husband, bless him, mows around these patches giving me a lovely display with high impact colour! These are growing around an old hibiscus syringa which is just starting to emerge after its' winter rest.
