Hovde Park Home is pleased to offer a captivating set of original watercolor paintings—an ode to the world of golf and artistic finesse. Each framed artwork measures 5.125 x 3.125 x 0.5 inches, showcasing exquisite detail and vibrant storytelling.

In one painting, presented in a landscape orientation, a spirited brunette golfer takes center stage mid-swing, exuding the energy and grace of the game. Every stroke of the brush captures the essence of the sport, immersing you in the moment as the golfer maneuvers their swing with precision and determination.

The second painting, in portrait orientation, continues the narrative, featuring what appears to be the same spirited figure. Here, the golfer proudly holds aloft the hole flag pole, a symbol of triumph and achievement. The attention to detail and the evocative use of watercolors bring life to each stroke, encapsulating the excitement and passion of the game.

Both artworks showcase the golfer in a yellow top and purple pants, creating a cohesive and visually striking set that celebrates the sport’s aesthetics.

These original watercolor paintings were sourced from the estate of an esteemed Washington State genitourinary surgeon, adding a unique provenance and story to these exquisite pieces. Perfectly framed, they are a testament to skillful brushwork and storytelling, adding a touch of elegance and sporty sophistication to any space.
