This exquisite colored pencil and sepia ink painting is from Katherine Tyrrell . She said this is a sketch of one of her favorite views in Kew Gardens. It’s the east/west axis from the Palm House looking toward the Chinese Pagoda. The Pagoda in reality is a deep crimson but Katherine said it always looks blue when viewed from a distance.
It was such a treat to come home from my vacation/working week away to find this wonderful piece of art just sitting there waiting for me. I can’t even put into words the beauty of each colored pencil stroke combined with another color to magically make shape and depth and glowing contrast.

What a stunning postcard - the beauty of those blues and greens glow. How wonderful to own this now.
What a wonderful, other-worldly vision of Kew Gardens!
Wow, I love the perspective. The lawn races towards the pagoda.
Gorgeous deep shadows and sunlit fresh greens, I love how the hatching describes the foliage - you must be thrilled Pat!
Another master class in veils of CP, lovely!
I like much their drawings : )
A gorgeous light and perspective :?)
Beautifully painted, I love the light and the perspective also, I have never been to Kew Gardens, looks wonderful.
Katherine, you're a wizard with greens as this card show once again...I would love to see you do this same thing with the eiffel...almost feels like I want to see the Eiffel there in the background!
