This weekend I was clearing up the garden and cutting back perennials in preparation for the great, garden winter sleep. At the same time I have been working on this painting depicting the complete opposite time of year when plants are growing vigorously and warm summer days lie ahead. Horticultural renewal is a magical process ❤️ 🌹This florist was setting up for Chelsea in bloom and I love all the horticultural clutter. Fingers crossed it’s finished for Open Studios 🎨 #garden #chelsea #chelseainbloom #horticulture #plants #stilllife #oilpainting #art #contemporaryart #oilonboard #seasons #renewal

Big new painting (by my standards) Especially difficult to know when to stop, it could have gone much further or could have stopped much sooner. another plant likeness 100x45cm @corgallery #painting #directobservation #stilllifepainting #plants #oilpainting #youngartist #perceptualpainting

A little bunch of leftovers all for me! People often ask me what my favourite time of year is for flowers. If I can have peonies, ranunculus, anemones and sweet peas in one bunch, it might be now! Happy sunny weekend you glorious people 🧚🏻‍♀️ . . . #prettyperfectpetals #peonyporn #ranunculus #aprilflowers #dsfloral #thatsdarling #love #flowerstagram #seedscolor #fairynuffflowers
