Both require me to make aesthetic judgements about composition, scale, color, texture and style. When I&#8217;m deciding where to plant the flowers I&#8217;ve hauled home on my endless trips to the nurseries it doesn&#8217;t seem that much different to me then when I&#8217;m deciding how to compose them on a two dimensional surface.<\/p>\n<p>I think about what style I&#8217;m looking for, what colors will work together, whether the scale of the placement works for me. I think about the type of flower and texture of the leaves. I make decisions about the 3D composition of the garden much like the 2D composition decisions on a painting.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Anemone coronaria - The Store\" href=\"http:\/\/www.maryahernartist.com\/pages\/thestore\/store-departments\/trstore-gallery\/pages\/03-anemones.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.maryahernartist.com\/art-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/2008-06-12-anemone-coronaria.jpg\" alt=\"Anemone coronaria in a Watercolor Painting\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a>The garden adds so many additional layers of complexity since the artwork is moving in time with nature, the seasons, the elements, and time.
