Meg and I went up to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello again about a week ago to paint. I did this from the upper deck of the gift shop, overlooking the 1,000-foot-long terrace of the vegetable garden, and just finished touching it up in my studio. About 200 years ago the garden was at its peak for Jefferson's time, and last week seemed like the peak for our time, a patchwork of color. Jefferson used the pavilion (blown down by a windstorm but later reconstructed) as a retreat for reading. Brown's Mountain is in the distance.
Oil on stretched canvas, 16" x 20". Email me to ask about price.
