Fruits of my husband’s labour in our small, but colourful garden. I photographed individual plants and compiled the picture. Acrylic

Crab apple ready for picking. 

Bracken - acrylics.

It certainly grew. 

This lovely rose stopped me in my tracks as I walked along a lane. It had grown out the back of a garden trellis. A watercolour pencil sketch.

I wanted a tree of growth and dreams with no clear season. The painting is in watercolours.

These poppies grow abundantly in our garden. I have painted this still life, using soft pastels, on top of a landscape painted in acrylic. By turning it to portrait I was able to take advantage of the light of the sky on the right hand side.

I grew this Aeonium from a small cutting and love it. Also I put the gilded sun in as I love that & it was a very hot sunny day. The splashing or spray I think adds atmosphere.

My wife grows these irises in our garden each year and are at their best in late spring. I find them simply beautiful and a sure sign summer is coming. 

I grew these teasels in my garden from seeds just so that I could have the seed heads to paint. I wanted to create a snowy scene and used watercolour and white ink.

The elephant is teasing the tiny caterpillar while its butterfly mother is thinking that the elephant ears are too large for flying.

I was inspired to paint this picture as we all need to learn to achieve growth. I have been aware of a lot parents being apprehensive about their children starting school.
