Jesus in the Gardens.

An expanding series of studies depicting stories from the Gospels about Jesus, set in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. All the works are Pencil, Gouache, Watercolour and Watercolour Pencil on 640 gsm Saunders Waterford Watercolour Paper. Although art works in themselves, the set of twenty or more studies worked towards the creation of a larger commissioned painting in acrylic and oil, entitled "Jesus in the Gardens", also pictured in this gallery.
