The Gardens of Sykesville – Wiley Purkey

Artist Wiley Purkey lived in Historic Sykesville with his wife, Claudia from 1985 to 2005. Most of his early work is of local historic architecture. After 1990, he turned to painting his own garden and that of his friend, and local historian, Thelma Wimmer, All of the 12 images in this colorful show are of those two gardens. All of the images are archival prints on canvas of original oil paintings.
