Garden at Dawn, Original plein air impressionist Oil on paper painting by Rhoda Sterling

Early hours at the Botanic Garden find employees and a few volunteers preparing the grounds for summer throngs of adults and children to visit the 25 gardens and four nature areas that comprise this monument to nature on the Skokie Lagoon and in the Cook County Forest Preserve. As a painter this time of near solitude shortly after dawn is especially precious as the sunrise enhances the colors of the landscape. This painting captures the fresh atmosphere of a fresh new day.
Oil on paper • 5.5 x 8.5 unframed • available
