GARDENS OF HYDE PARK, 7X5, OIL ON CANVAS BOARD SOLD


How many gentle flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know
And those I'll miss I hope you'll pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and phlox
Meadowsweet and lilly stalks 
Gentain, lupine and tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden.



Sharpe/Jordan




A beautiful garden and cottage in Hyde Park, London England.

MORNING IN HYDE PARK, 6x12, Oil on Stretched Canvas SOLD

SOLD




Oh, to be in England
Now that April's there,
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England - now!!

Robert Browning



Painted from a photo reference taken on a recent trip to Hyde Park.

PRINCESS DIANA'S GARDEN, 8X10, Original Oil, Canvas on Board, SOLD


Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name


Elton John










No, this is not a rose, but a poppy photographed in Kensington Palace gardens, former home of Princess Diana.
