In this painting I was trying to capture that magical time of day when the garden seems to glow, and everything is softened by evening light. Rather than aiming for a realistic depiction, I was more interested in suggesting the essence of flowers and seedheads — shapes and rhythms that feel familiar without being literal. I used layers of paint, collage, and stencilling to build up crisp edges alongside softer areas of colour, with very little traditional brushwork. 
My hope is that this garden inspired art conveys the peaceful harmony of a late summer evening.
 
I used acrylic paints, inks and collage. I make my own collage papers by painting on lightweight sheets with layers of professional grade colour. After cutting out shapes with a knife, I glue the pieces onto good-quality paper using archival glue.
