Gathering all the bits of work I want to be on this portfolio site I’m realising that I have a bit of an affinity for gardens.

Above: This is the sketch for this painting, the real thing is behind glass at it’s owners and too reflective to make a good image.

Above: This garden is lovely in all seasons but here in early autumn it’s particularly good.

Above: Hm… maybe washing lines are another developing theme? The owners of this painting were just about to move from this pretty old terraced house to somewhere grander and wanted a record of the children in the garden.
