A garden painting with my old green bike, a couple of friends chatting and some of the usual clutter to be seen through the glass of the conservatory. Oil on board. I don't like the white aluminium conservatory so I hung lengths of ivy down it to break up the lines.
We long for a front or back yard where nature has taken over, providing nourishment to the soul & the human spirit whenever we or anyone else sees it.
This is where art can act as a broad spectrum vaccine against depression and loneliness and a host of other ills that plague our society these days.
