Parmelee Estate in Bloom
c. 1920
Dora Louise Murdoch invites us into a sun-drenched garden with this loose, vibrant watercolor from around 1920. Pinks, purples, and reds explode in the foreground, guiding your eye along a dirt path toward a cozy house hidden among the trees. It’s a perfect snapshot of a peaceful afternoon, showing how her academic training allowed for such fresh, lively landscapes. The painting captures the fleeting beauty of a blooming estate, making you almost smell the flowers.
