Eileen Seitz Art Appraisal

Barefoot in the Garden by Eileen Seitz

This item is a framed fine art print titled 'Barefoot in the Garden' by the contemporary artist Eileen Seitz, dated 1994. The artwork depicts a vibrant tropical garden scene, a hallmark of Seitz's signature style. The composition features a central purple and gold wicker rocking chair set upon a wooden deck, surrounded by lush, dense vegetation including monstera leaves, palm fronds, banana leaves, and bright fuchsia bougainvillea flowers. A tall wooden post or pillar stands on the right side of the deck, while a glimpse of the blue ocean is visible in the background. The color palette is exceptionally rich, utilizing saturated greens, deep purples, and warm yellows to evoke a serene, coastal atmosphere. The print is professionally presented in a pink or coral-colored mat with a subtle gold inner border, protected under glazing. It is signed in the lower right hand corner by the artist with the copyright symbol and date '94', and the title 'Barefoot in the Garden' is handwritten in the lower left. The condition appears to be very good with no visible fading, moisture damage, or foxing. The matting suggests a 1990s styling intended for coastal or sunroom decor. The level of detail in the lithographic or giclée reproduction preserves the rhythmic brushwork and intricate patterns of the original painting.
