Description
Summer Garden – Freshness Among the Treetops
This abstract painting brings freshness like a summer wind: soft yellow-green and lemon layers of the base meet dark, angular sweeps of deep green and black that swing like treetops in the wind. Peach accents add warmth, aquamarine ones freshness.
Technique & Texture
Broad dragged layers build an airy base, over which a white impasto pillar descends like a waterfall – light falling among the treetops. This balance between the fresh base and the decisive sweeps is the artist’s – a hand-painted artistic painting of which no copy is ever quite the same.
The Motif
The dark green wing in the upper right and the white fall of light left of centre form the painting’s main tension; tiny teal and ochre squares scattered across the canvas give it the structure of a garden full of hidden corners.
Styling & Placement
An excellent choice for spaces lacking natural energy and a bright, airy mood – dining rooms, kitchens, workspaces with white or wooden elements.

Summer Garden in a dining room, kitchen or study
Summer Garden is available in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. The lemon-green canvas with its dark treetop sweeps comes alive where people eat and work. Over a 180 cm dining table choose 120 x 120 cm, which spans two thirds of the table, above a 120 cm desk 80 x 80 cm, and on a kitchen wall by a breakfast nook 70 x 70 cm. Above a 200 cm sofa Summer Garden works at 130 x 130 cm, and a large empty wall can take 160 x 160 cm.
To get Summer Garden ready to hang, choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the canvas arrives on a wooden stretcher. A frame is optional: for Summer Garden the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The dragged layers, dark sweeps and white impasto pillar of Summer Garden are hand-painted, so this painting is not a print.
Why do people choose the Summer Garden painting?
Summer Garden is for a room that is otherwise white, grey or wooden and short of colour, when you do not want anything loud. The lemon-green ground freshens the room, and the dark treetop sweeps give it something to hold on to, so the painting never looks sugary. The square format sits well above a dining table, a desk or a sofa, and in a kitchen, where an upright or landscape canvas finds no room. Because it shows no recognisable scene, Summer Garden goes with any style of furniture.
How is the Summer Garden painting made?
Summer Garden is hand-painted by our painters. They lay down the yellow-green and lemon ground first in broad dragged layers, then add the dark green and black treetop sweeps with brush and knife, and the white impasto pillar that stands off the canvas. Last, small teal and ochre squares are scattered across the canvas. Because the sweeps are made by hand, every Summer Garden painting comes out a little different. When it is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, and only then do we ship it.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Summer Garden the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Summer Garden is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Stretched, it arrives ready to hang; rolled makes sense when a framer near you will frame it or when it has a long way to travel. Without a frame the green ground runs to the edges, which suits a square painting.
How should I hang and care for it?
Above a dining table, keep the bottom edge of Summer Garden 25 to 35 cm over the tabletop, so you can see it while seated; on an empty wall, keep its centre about 150 cm from the floor. In a kitchen, hang it away from the cooker and the sink so steam and grease do not reach it. Wipe the canvas only with a dry soft cloth or brush, without water or cleaners.
Is Summer Garden a good gift?
For a new kitchen, dining room or study, Summer Garden is a cheerful gift; the small sizes from 40 x 40 to 60 x 60 cm fit almost anywhere. If you are not sure which colour or size would suit the recipient, give a gift voucher.
What do buyers ask about Summer Garden?
