Original artwork description:

Painted on-site at Boerner Botanical Gardens in WI. Features a delicately painted view of the Herb Garden in late summer. In the background to the left is a crabapple tree pruned into two tiers, with one purple datura flower peeking up from behind the hedge. The foreground is lined with rhubarb, chard, basil and other herbs, and nasturtium flowers. To the left in the background are two delicately painted urns potted with more herbs. Tree branches overarch the garden at the top of the canvas, and shade the path. Framed in a wood frame with a distressed bronze finish.
