This painting reflects my own personal perception of beauty, where I am inspired to record nature in some of its finest moments. Both the gardener and I have certainly reaped a pleasing reward.
I am delighted that this was recently chosen to represent Australia in Italy for the Fabriano In Aquarelle international watercolour exhibition.
