MY INSPIRATION

 Lancelot "Capability" Brown

Lancelot Brown (born 1715-16) more commonly known with the byname Capability Brown, was an English Landscape Architect.

He is remembered as "the last of the great English 18th century artists to be accorded his due", and "England's greatest gardener".

He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure.

He was nicknamed "Capability" because he would tell his clients that their property had "capability" for improvement.

His influence was so great that the contributions to the English garden made by his predecessors Charles Bridgeman and William Kent are often overlooked, even Kent's apologist Horace Walpole allowed that Kent had been followed by "a very able master".

Lancelot "Capability" Brown, redesigned the formal gardens at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, with a more natural look, which helped bring his style into fashion.
