Tucked into a quiet Oakwood neighborhood, Smith Memorial Gardens is a hidden gem where winding paths, seasonal blooms, and a charming garden house invite visitors to slow down and linger. Originally planted in the 1930s by Carlton and Jeanette Smith, the garden was thoughtfully designed to offer beauty throughout the changing seasons and remains one of Oakwood's most peaceful gathering places.
I was drawn to the gentle curves of the pathways, the abundance of flowers, and the feeling of quiet discovery that unfolds around every corner. Painting places as they are remembered, I hope to preserve the warmth, beauty, and quiet sense of place that make them meaningful.
Original watercolor on archival paper. 5 × 7 inches.
