Artwork Description:

Title: My Garden

The view from my studio into the garden often inspires me into painting a picture. It generally turns out better in the painting than in actual fact. Plants never seem to end up as good as they’re shown in the seed catalogues, but it gives me a great deal of satisfaction. The colours, watching plants grow up and develop their flowers, spending hours tinkering with them, sowing seeds, potting in the greenhouse, dead heading, moving them around to get the best out of them. It’s worth the time and effort. Nothing beats resting at the end of the day, glass of wine in hand, oh the joy!

Artist Bio:
I studied art at A level but then a career in Engineering and bringing up a family interrupted my painting. But I never lost my passion for art and for the last 40 years I've been painting again. I've shown my art in countless exhibitions and galleries including Sheffield, Hull, Buxton and many others. I live in Wirksworth where I moved to, to continue my taking part in the Festival there and have had my painting included in the Wirksworth Brochure Front Page.
