This richly layered acrylic painting is created on a sturdy handcrafted wood panel and finished with three coats of gloss medium to bring out the depth of colour and texture. It’s presented in a hand-sanded meranti float frame, waxed to a soft sheen that complements the work without overpowering it. The final surface is gently taken back with beeswax to a beautiful satin finish that catches the light just right.

Another Time, A Distant Place

As part of my 2023–2024 residency at The Acres, I kept a weekly sketchbook practice for many months. Most of these studies were flowers drawn in ink, with crayon marks to capture their colours — an ever-growing resource of observational material that later informed my studio paintings.

The towering banana plants at The Acres instantly transported me back to my early career in Bermuda, where I painted en plein air in the parish banana patches. Back then, I worked small-scale, in gouache on paper. This time, I wanted to capture the bananas on a grand scale, letting their lush, tropical presence fill the composition. The process felt like stepping into a memory — another time, a distant place — while rooted firmly in the here and now.
