Cathy's Garden
Before Christmas I photographed a friends garden with the idea of making a painting.
Cathy Stewart loved gardening, she had an ethic that the whole point of gardening
was to share the plants with other gardeners and in that way 'people' your own
garden as well. It is an ethic which was shared in my family, and some of the plants
in my Mother's collection were so named. It is a tradition which I have continued
with my garden too, I have Rosie's Canterbury bells, Helen's lily of the valley,
Jenny's orchid and Cathy's salvia to mention a few.
Cathy died tragically last Saturday, she will be greatly missed.
Haere ra Cathy
