Putting this idea into paintings I wanted to play around with textures and different mediums and a softness of image to create the feeling of quiet joy I have on my garden wanders

Original Painting - Green and Brown Leaves and Ferns SouthIslandNZ Painted on a stretched canvasThis is part of foliage studies for my botanics series. All the studies are painted on stretched circular canvases, ready to hang. First as I painted other works I would wipe my brush on a clean canvas. This was the starting point for the foliage painting on top. A vibrant splash of colour for a small space. 50cm diameter 1. 5 cm deep
