Kotani-En Japanese Garden

Gateway (studio painting from my sketch)

Many thanks to the owner of Kotani-En for allowing us to visit this wonderful treasure up in the hills. There was much to see and paint so I tried to sketch quickly. I was very taken with the view through the gate into the garden and did a painting from my quick sketch. I wanted to show the peace and calmness of the garden.
