15x15x2.4cm, acrylic on cradled ply panel,  gloss finish
 
I had just finished a 120x120cm when I realised I had promised 2 mini paintings for a gallery in Toowoomba. My ever-patient husband made some 15x15cm panels despite making many frames for my first solo show.
I loved making the first 4 and kept painting. I used to work even smaller when I first worked en plein air in Bermuda in the early years of my career. So I felt a certain sense of a full circle.
The Borage were the first plants I drew at The Acres during my residency. They are intriguing plants and have an almost alien quality. The bees love them and I seem to remember they are  mentioned in old herb and potion books.
