Inspiration Close at Hand

Artists' Gardens - George Van Hook

In response to our “Inspiration Close at Hand” call for paintings created in artists’ gardens or other personal spaces, we received these five images from artist, George Van Hook. Although inspiration can be found far and wide, many of us have found “diamonds in own backyard”, especially throughout the confinement of the pandemic. There can be great creative benefits to painting a more intimate and personal world throughout the changes of light and season.
