"Take some time before composing a sketch to find some things that each of the elements in the scene have in common. If they don't seem related, find a similar color, value, shape, direction or texture that you can add to each to tie the parts together." (Jane Hofstetter's Seven Keys to Great Paintings)

Ms. Hofstetter transforms personal observation and some of her own and the owner's photos into a painting that captures the poetry of the garden. Borrowing from different locations in the garden and different seasons, the new view emerges in "Garden Visitors"
