November Wild Garden Painting from New Zealand

A November Painting from My Garden

 
 
This is the latest painting from my garden.  I love to see the bees and birds fliting
 about so it is hardly a manicured or managed planting.  Made in three
panels this work shows some of the plants now flowering.
 
 
 
 
As a contrast here is a photo of part of my actual garden.  When I was training at art school
one lecturer gave us some advice about painting from the natural world  'always take a small  
thing from the large, do not attempt to make the whole thing small'
I try to remember this.
