Garden Corner

In Garden Corner, Spitaels portrays an intimate and lush space, likely a private garden in high summer. The composition focuses on the density of the vegetation, where bushes of white flowers (possibly daisies or asters) compete for space with deep green foliage.

The artist masterfully captures the effect of sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating a play of light and shadow (“dappled light”) that adds depth and movement to the scene. A dark wall or hedge in the middle ground closes the composition, enhancing the sense of privacy and shelter.

The work is signed and dated in the bottom right corner (“Kilou Spitaels .86” or similar), placing it in her mature artistic period.
