Botanic Gardens Icons

"Botanic Gardens Icons"
25" x 13.5" 
Oil on four canvases


































The Chicago Botanic Gardens, like many public places, has iconic spots that people designate as meeting areas. The English Walled Garden has many, including the three pictured here: the garden gate, the lily pond, and the Renaissance sculpture.

This piece was hanging in a corporate setting until it was removed to make room for team-building posters.  Fine art went out the door for propaganda. Sheesh. The three canvases are mounted on one large canvas that I marbleized. It's about an inch and a half thick.
