This plein air was 2 days to completion. Standing in the formal rose garden of Government House, with the rich rose scents wafting around me, I selected this duo combination. They both seemed to exert a life energy which I tried to translate into the painting using quick, decisive brushstrokes.

Painting from life has always fascinated me. I love seeing flower petals animated by gentle breezes or inhaling the deeply scented perfume of colourful iris and rose blooms, as they “pose” before me under dappled sunlight.
"My primary objective when painting on location, is to seize the drama - a specific group of flowers or landscape into a lively composition."
