Massing for Impact

For maximum visual impact landscape gardeners often make mass plantings of the same flower.
This applies to paintings too.

Summer

Claustro de Georges Sands
Garden of Sa Coma, Valdemosa

















In these two landscapes the Spanish (Catalan) painter Santiago Rusinol (February 25, 1861 - 1931) uses daringly bright greens to evoke the intense light of the mediterranean summer.
Rusinol was particularly fond of painting gardens, and was a supporter of modernism, who influenced Picasso.

Gardens

The garden is another rich traditional sub-genre of landscape painting.

I love the intense greens in this work by the Spanish painter Juan Manuel Fernandez Pinedo.

Gardens were a favourite subject of Vuillard and Klimt, flowerbeds and gravel paths fulfilling their love of pointillist pattern and colour:

Australian painter, Ric Amor, combines plant forms, statuary and built elements in this work reminiscent of moderns such as Picasso and Le Corbusier.
