Chinese Garden, Seattle – Original Oil Painting by John de Mars (2025)

Dimensions: 18 x 24" (Width x Height)
Medium: Oil on canvas 

John de Mars captures a tranquil moment of springtime harmony in Chinese Garden, Seattle, an original oil painting completed in 2025. Inspired by the serene Sichuan-style garden tucked within Seattle, this 18 x 24" canvas evokes stillness and natural grace through expressive brushwork and luminous color. Pale magnolia blossoms stretch against a sunlit courtyard wall, while shadows dance across architectural lines and the quiet presence of a stone lion hints at cultural reverence. A celebration of light, season, and structure—this piece invites viewers into a scene where time seems to pause.
