Into the Garden - by Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

For the past three decades, artist Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff has often traded his traditional artist studio for the expansive possibilities of a global odyssey. Immersing himself in terrains both near and far--from Lunuganga in tropical Sri Lanka to the Aegean Island of Sifnos--he has had the privilege of painting in some of the most exquisite and heretofore unrecorded gardens of world-class tastemakers and the international elite.

Review Quotes

...what Peltenburg-Brechneff offers in his paintings is the experience of being in gardens-the texture, style, and mood of each place...There's a confident playfulness on display throughout, like watching a jazz pianist let loose on a keyboard. Readers will hope the artist isn't finished going out on the road and into the garden just yet.--Flower Magazine

Every now and then a book comes along that speaks to me in an unexpected way. Into the Garden by artist Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff is just that kind of book... thing about this book that caught me off guard a bit is the bold, abstract quality of the images (and that I was so enchanted by them). Van Gogh comes to mind...this book captured my imagination...--Holly Sneeringer "Elegant Country Style "
