Available. Delivery estimates

A survey of 21 contemporary artists who specialise in painting gardens. The artists come from the United Kingdom as well as Europe and the United States. They work in a wide range of media including watercolour, acrylics, oils and tempera. For each artist, there is a brief biographical thumbnail sketch, reproductions of a variety of their work, and comments from the artists on their painting styles and working practices. The result is a intriguing look at this fascinating subject. A beautiful book with a foreword by Sir Roy Strong.

About the Author(s)
Ariel Luke is a well-known British painter who specialises in painting gardens on commission. She has shown at the Royal Academy, at the Chelsea Flower Show and in various galleries both in the UK and in France.
