Mead Garden Turtle, Pond and Turtle Oil Landscape by Judy Batterson


In Winter Park, an untouched natural piece of Florida has been preserved. Mead Garden is tucked away behind neighborhoods and has provided children a place to explore for years. Turtles are always sunning themselves on fallen logs in the pond. Generations continue to go there to see the turtles. The pond has lily pads and heavy, shadowy foliage which made an Impressionistic composition with cool colors. When I went to sketch and paint, science classes were having a field trip there. The children were thrilled to find the turtle! 18 x 18" oil on masonite. Selected for "Simply the Best" book by Timothy's Gallery and Art-Exchange.

  1. Wow, so beautiful.Summers in the desert can be not, dry and miserable. For some it is just a matter of getting home to relax in their own private oasis in the desert.The landscaper Arizona have xtensive knowledge including the size plants will grow to, the colour variations throughout the seasons and the suitability of certain species to your space.
