She Lays Here In The Garden by Lynne Bertalli

Features

ARTIST NOTES: A handmade ceramic tile I made is placed on the grave of my beautiful girl Minnie. “She lays here in the Garden” is work drawn from my sadness & grief that I have felt many times when I have lost one of my fur babies. The poem on the tile was written by Liz Bailey a woman as mad about animals as I am. It is so beautifully written and expresses a fitting farewell to our beloved animal family members. I use various techniques of dry brush, washes & thick layers of paint to create my work. This painting is on quality Italian linen and is ready to hang.
