"Lace Caps at Rydal Mount" - Original Pastel Painting
Product Description
Lace Caps at Rydal Mount is an original pastel drawing by Helen Alice Johnson, created en plein air at Rydal Mount and Gardens in Rydal, Cumbria—the historic home of William Wordsworth until his death in 1850. This piece captures the delicate beauty of lace cap hydrangeas in the gardens, which served as a continuous source of inspiration during the artist's time as Artist in Residence from 2019 to 2020. The gardens at Rydal Mount, lovingly tended and full of vibrant life, hold a special place in the artist’s heart, influencing many of her works.
The pastel's soft tones and expressive strokes beautifully depict the natural forms of the hydrangeas, creating a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. The piece is mounted but unframed, allowing the collector to choose a custom frame that complements their space.
