Water Garden 1

A garden built around water is a garden built around reflection — of sky, of light, of the self.

Water Garden 1 by Downy Doxey-Marshall is the first in her water garden series, an exploration of the lush, layered beauty of aquatic gardens at Monet's Giverny, where blooms float on still surfaces and color doubles itself in the depths below. Painted with Downy’s characteristic richness and sensitivity to light, it is a painting that rewards long looking — the more you look, the more you see.

Part of the Healing Waters exhibit at the UVU Museum of Art (2025), this work carries the spirit of the series: water as a source of beauty, stillness, and renewal.

Available as a hand-signed fine art giclee print on archival watercolor paper or stretched canvas, printed with 200-year lightfast pigmented inks for rich, luminous color with no glare.
