Return to Colour: The Garden Studies Series Blooms Again

Return to Colour: The Garden Studies Series Blooms Again

Step into a world where colour dances and gardens come to life. My Garden Studies series is a seasonal collection of oil paintings inspired by the beauty, rhythm, and energy of blooming gardens. Influenced by Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) and the expressive florals of Van Gogh, each painting explores bold outlines, vibrant hues, and the emotional power of nature. Peonies, poppies, foxgloves, and wildflowers stretch, sway, and bloom across the canvas — capturing moments of movement, joy, and serenity. These works are more than just landscapes; they are reflections of growth, beauty, and renewal. Created as a limited series each summer, these paintings are meant to uplift and transport. Whether you’re drawn to the rich symbolism of flowers or the healing quality of colour, Garden Studies invites you to pause, look closer, and reconnect with the natural world.
