Henry Matisse once said:
“An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.”
Many artists draw their inspiration from nature. There is endless inspiration for their work. This art was featured at Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, California, called Sculpture in the Garden. This annual event unites stunning sculptural art with natural sculptural beauty. The Ruth Bancroft Garden is a 2.5-acre public dry garden established by Ruth Bancroft and contains more than 2,000 cactus, succulents, trees, and shrubs native to California, Mexico, Chile, South Africa, and Australia.
