A Friend's Garden
This painting was made from the view in a friend's garden which backs onto an area of New
Zealand bush. On the left there are Black Mamaku tree ferns which can grow to
twenty metres, they have a distinctive curled frond before they unfold into their large umbrella branches. It is the tallest of our native tree ferns.
In the foreground is a large red flax and in front of that a patch of blue iris which seem to become
a dark purple when viewed against the flax.
