As part of my residency at The Acres, I drew in my sketchbook every week for 6 months. I mainly drew flowers in ink with crayons to indicate colour. This rich source of observational material has led to a series of floral paintings painted in the studio. 
This is my largest residency painting to date. I loved drawing in the smaller French garden at The Acres and I spent my first month only drawing there. It is a more intimate space and perfect for early work while I became acquainted with the farm.
Song of Spring has developed from those drawings and explores the genius loci of the garden and the tangible sense of abundance.
