Lagoon Plants

I painted this pair during 2020 isolation. Sitting in my garage studio I could watch the insects and birds come and go from my parents garden. The shape of the leaves of my grandmothers geraniums, the weedy ferns and the clusters of tall leafy stalks all the way at bottom of the yard soon found their way onto my page, reinventing themselves in new whimsical colours, taking on a life of their own.

The original paintings are pictured below.
