Parmelee Estate in Bloom is a 1920 watercolor by Dora Louise Murdoch, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a bright garden with wildflowers in pink, purple, and yellow. Tall trees line the back, and a narrow path cuts through the grass. The colors are loose and bright, with some areas still wet-looking. The flowers are painted in quick, bold strokes, making them pop against the greenery. The edges of the trees and bushes are sketchy, almost like the artist painted fast. Check out more about watercolor to see how artists use layers of paint to build color.
