Gardens are full of colour, life and inspiration. And if there is one place that really captures my imagination, it’s a secret place that is seldom seen and has its own microclimate. I love the abundant ferns that grow there, peeking out of mossy stones, unfurling like ballet dancers. I’ve tried to capture that feeling in this abstract painting. It’s a quiet place, shielded from the rest of the busy garden, and I like to sit here and write or sketch, unseen, unnoticed.
