Wild Garden - wall hanging - acrylic paints on cotton. This painting emerged from an experiment I did a few years ago when I decided to let our vegetable garden grow as it pleased for a year. The result was an interesting collection of plants,almost all edible in salads. Nasturtiums,chickweed,speedwell,borage,dandelion,marjoram fennel and others grew luxuriantly in their chosen spaces. Most of these plants have been used for centuries for culinary and healing purposes. |

Hello!:) How clever of you to produce this very beautiful and effective textile art decoration. It does speak to me of all the wild herbs you seem to know a lot about as well. I think it's very beautiful, and so are your photos. Good that you showed us it's size, by placing the flowers in front.
ReplyDeleteI was also in textiles, for a few years before I went into fashion designing, and then teaching art.Kind Regards.
All of these colours are wonderfully vibrant, both in the wall hanging and the garden. This post exudes joy.
