Diaphanous Lime Avenue - Original Painting
The Honeyed Times’ Collection: “Diaphanous Lime Avenue" 11’’ x 15’’
“Diaphanous Lime Avenue" depicts an illuminated obelisk in a clearing between two guardian Tilia x europaea trees, recognized as common European lime trees.
This scene was placed along the aptly named Lime Avenue at Hinton Ampner, a National Trust site in Hampshire, England. I remember being enchanted by the romantic avenue of trees and as I approached the end, beyond the bushes, you could see a field of sheep basking in the summer shade across the neighbouring field.
I think that what stood out the most to me about this scene is that the focal obelisk of this painting that is showered in diaphanous light alludes to the sensation that Arthurian legends still breathe and there is something so magical about that sentiment to me that I wanted to paint it.
I hope that the lore of this painting inspires you to collect this legend worthy watercolour.
