Lavender IV is a composition study from Lavender I, an area of the painting I particularly liked and wanted to work into a small-size abstract painting on handcut board.

Lavender III
Lavender III describes a scene from the front of the Old School House, the railings and flowering lavender hedge create a strong line and perspective, drawing you into the scene. The colours are vibrant purple, lilac, green, lime and turquoise.
Lavender II
Lavender II is a experiment with abstract and scale. The marks describe the lines and movement of the lavender hedge which fronts the Old School House. Deep blue, purple and lilac flowing across blues, greens and pops of lime green. It is painted on a large, deep edge canvas.
Sunflowers II
Sunflowers II is another sizzling juxtaposition of cool and warm colours inspired by a favourite summer bloom. This piece was an experiment with a smaller composition.
Sunflowers I
Sunflowers I was a spontaneous wild ride into discordant colours influenced by the colours in a children’s story book my daughter loves called Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne. Colour doesn’t get much more hot and sizzling than this. I love it!
