Garden Paintings

I newly discovered painter Abbott Fuller Graves, an American expressionist, who painted mostly gardens and flowers. They are beautiful. I love the light and colors he used.  My favorites are the first and last ones I have here.

As you will see, the last painting is not of a garden but I felt it was so pretty that I had to include it. The colors he used for the water are so gorgeous!
