I have been very busy preparing for Art & Music in the Garden 2019, an event that is being held in the gardens of Horticultural Centre of the Pacific. It is a bright, colourful affair and there will be many artists and musicians there. I decided to create a whole new body of work for this occasion and set about taking photographs of the flowers in the gardens at HCP in Spring and Summer this year. I selected a number of the pictures to use in my encaustic paintings using a method of photo transfer in-between the layers of the bees wax. Most of the paintings are 8X8 inches and some are 6X6 inches. My paintings are a playful mixture of photography and digital imaging layered between coloured and clear beeswax. Each piece of art is always meant to be so much more than a photograph. I hope those who see this body of work will appreciate the playfulness and joy of the garden!
