Hortus Botanicus in Coimbra - memories of Portugal




Last December we were in the Botanical Garden of Coimbra (Portugal). That is an old garden with lots of nice corners, lots of stairs and so on. The light was fading, it was just before sunset. My daughter Mariska made a lot of photos and although many of the photos were a bit disappointing, I still remember the light and the colours. So I painted this one....
A little gate with a balcony behind it looking at the tops of the trees behind it and that sunset... here I only tried to give an impression of the athmosphere of that moment, so the details are not all there.
More details of the painting (size, colours used) are to be found at www.jannekesatelier.co.nr
