In Full Bloom
This canvas is a celebration for the late summer flowers in bloom in my curling garden - their glory, jewel hues and voluptuous shapes captured to keep the joy they exude flourishing all year round.
Paintings inspired by gardens. My garden, local gardens, Monet's garden - gardens are a never-ending source of escapism and joy.
Sketching in a garden has to be one of the most happily absorbing occupations there is. Surrounded by colour, shape, pattern and form it's a sensory overload that I love. Add in the scents, the sounds and the light - it's bliss. I create playful 'collaged' sketches en plein air and use them to develop paintings and prints that capture the essence of a garden, maybe at a particular time of day, maybe about a particular colour combination or maybe about an exciting mix of shapes and textures. It's a limitless joy!
Mixed media on 80 x 80 deep edged canvas. Painted edges ready to hang or could be framed by purchaser.

My paintings are mainly in acrylics with waterbased pastels and pencils used to scribe gestural details and motifs. Painted onto either triple gessoed ply panels or high quality canvases, all paintings are UV sealed. We try to represent colours as accurately as possible but differences in hue will occur due to variations in monitors and lighting. If you are interested in a painting but unsure of how it will work with your space I can send you more images, even paint samples if you need to match a colour. It is also possible for me to produce an ‘insitu’ digital impression of how the piece would look in your room. Please email me if you wish to discuss this.
