The Gardening Club – Fernando Botero
The Gardening Club is a 1997 painting by Fernando Botero: five full-figured ladies with garden tools, flowers and little hats under palm trees. We paint our hand-painted study of The Gardening Club to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 60 × 60 cm to 181 × 191 cm or in a custom size. Before The Gardening Club is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does The Gardening Club show?
In The Gardening Club five full-figured women in dresses and little hats stand and sit together; one holds shears and a hose, another a basket of flowers and a rake, a third a trowel in her gloved hands, flowerpots and a watering can stand at their feet, and palms and hills rise behind them. Botero painted the group photo of a respectable club with quiet humour, which is why The Gardening Club feels cheerful and warm-hearted.
How is our hand-painted study of The Gardening Club made?
Our painters paint the study of The Gardening Club by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of The Gardening Club has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When The Gardening Club is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of The Gardening Club suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose The Gardening Club in 100 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 60 × 60 cm. The Gardening Club is available in 60 × 60 cm, 70 × 70 cm, 80 × 80 cm, 90 × 100 cm, 100 × 110 cm, 120 × 130 cm, 150 × 160 cm and 181 × 191 cm. A simple rule for The Gardening Club: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does The Gardening Club arrive, and when?
We ship The Gardening Club rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of The Gardening Club are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of The Gardening Club is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of The Gardening Club painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
