Description
This is a close-up digital watercolor version of a lovely old blue window at Bok Garden, Florida. I love the intricate wrought-Iron work on the grate and the cracking plaster around it. These features all emphasize the grace, beauty, and age of the period of this home.
The original photograph has been digitally watercolored by the photographer/artist and is signed and year-dated. Two other versions are available in this same gallery: One is the original photograph and the other is a watercolor version that includes some of the surrounding elements (palms, moldings, etc.).
Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. had designed Edward Bok's Gardens and several private gardens inside Mountain Lake Estates, a neighboring private community. Charles Austin Buck engaged Olmsted's firm to design the landscape of his winter estate. In 1929, landscape architect William Lyman Phillips of the Olmsted Brothers firm began to design the gardens and the placement of the house. In 1930, architect Charles Wait was hired to design the house that has become one of the finest examples of Mediterranean-style architecture in the state of Florida. The Estate was the result of the collaborative inspiration of Buck, Wait and Phillips.
