Garden of Gethsemane original acrylic plein air landscape painting

11" x 14" acrylic on panel, by American Artist Hilary J. England

This romantic fine artwork was painted on-site, in Israel, in the Garden of Gethsemane, during the Easter holiday week of 2019.

The day was gray and somber -- the rain and wind had driven many people away, and I was able to sit in the garden and paint this artwork.  I meditated on all that had happened here -- the anguish of our Lord, as he faced crucifixion, his loneliness as his friends slept during his distress, and the trees that kept him company -- the olive trees in the grotto -- now twisted and gnarled with age -- had been young trees during that time, and were still alive, two thousand years later.  It was a very spiritual painting session, to be sure.

The painting is signed front and back.

✮ About the Artist ✮

Hilary J. England .. a professional artist and world traveler. 

As a landscape painter .. many of these impressionist small oil studies are painted plein-air [on location] amid the magnificent regions of our earth.

I paint/work every day.  Whether plein air or in-studio (sometimes both) and a variety of different mediums, including watercolor, pastel, and charcoal.

My work has won support from art collectors from all over the world. They are my fellow travelers with kindred vision and I greatly appreciate their support.
