Acrylic on canvas  20x20 cms  £250_  My work is inspired by nature in
all its forms, including my tiny garden. Nature provides us with all
the best designs even in the most mundane of surroundings.Plants,
rocks, lichens and grassland  surround us; the only requirement is
closer observation , a skill most of us have forgotten with our busy
lives.In the transition from sketchbook  through studies to final work
the images often become semi-abstracted with exploitation of form and
colour
