Several areas of the Monte Palace Tropical Gardens on the island of Madeira, Portugal, are laid out as oriental gardens. These areas follow themes and there are two sections with red handrails and pagodas reminiscent of a Japanese style. The gardens belong to a beautiful palace that was a famous hotel in the 18th Century but is now a museum with the gardens open to the public. This photoart image shows a section of the garden that has a very definite Japanese feel, with a bright red pagoda and Chinese Foo Dogs also known as guardian lions on either side of the entrance.
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
An artist and writer, I specialize in photo art and acrylic painting. For my photo art, I start with my own photographs and work on them digitally to capture the feeling I want to convey with the final image. For my abstract work, I literally 'go with the flow' and follow where my heart wants to take me as I work.
I create art to make your heart smile, capturing the spirit of place in towns and villages, or creating art to enhance the energy of your home or workplace. Take your time to look through my portfolio, I hope you enjoy it.
