Flowers picked in Joy’s Garden.
Joy lives at the end of our road. I always walk past her house and see her tending her small garden. She was delighted when I offered to paint her garden for a couple of weeks. I was delighted too. It was a wonderful couple of weeks.
The studio smelt of Nasturtiums.
For the past couple of months I have been painting specimens from the Eucalyptus Infera. Jason Halford from the seed bank (which is situated in the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Garden ) has been supplying me with specimens. We are hoping to make a trip next week to see the trees growing in their natural habitat. I am looking forward to meeting the trees I have been painting.
The Eucalyptus infera is listed as a vulnerable plant species.
