Parmelee Garden

Amerikanische Grafik 1917–1929, c. 1920

The artwork "Parmelee Garden" presents a garden scene from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is placed high, with a sky that shows a mix of blue and cloudy hues. Close to us, a lawn and flowerbeds are visible, with a white pedestal surrounded by blossoms. Beyond, a variety of trees, including a tall conifer, create a canopy of greens, with brushstrokes capturing the texture and depth of the foliage. The painting uses a color palette of greens, browns, and pastels. The brushwork is expressive and somewhat loose.
