For the past three decades, artist Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff has often traded his traditional artist studio for the expansive possibilities of a global odyssey. Immersing himself in terrains both near and far - from Lunuganga in tropical Sri Lanka to the Aegean Island of Sifnos - he has had the privilege of painting in some of the most exquisite and heretofore unrecorded gardens of world-class tastemakers and the international elite.
Translating the immediate and sublime presence of nature with painterly impressions en plein air, Peltenburg-Brechneff pays homage to the resplendent beauty of the garden and the visionaries behind them. Included here are gardens by masterful designers like Geoffrey Bawa, Bruce Kelly, Bunny Williams, and John Rosselli. Into the Garden chronicles this long-term pilgrimage of a visionary painter, opening the exquisite private gardens to the public through Peltenburg-Brechneff's vivid expressions in watercolour, oil and gouache.

Industry Reviews
...what Peltenburg-Brechneff offers in his paintings is the experience of being in gardens-the texture, style, and mood of each place...There's a confident playfulness on display throughout, like watching a jazz pianist let loose on a keyboard. Readers will hope the artist isn't finished going out on the road and into the garden just yet.--Flower Magazine
Every now and then a book comes along that speaks to me in an unexpected way. Into the Garden by artist Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff is just that kind of book... thing about this book that caught me off guard a bit is the bold, abstract quality of the images (and that I was so enchanted by them). Van Gogh comes to mind...this book captured my imagination...--Holly Sneeringer "Elegant Country Style "
