These beauties are from our own garden. The Russian Red garlic is a hard neck variety with beautiful foliage, and the bulbs sport stunning colours. With a twist of twine I hung them on my easel where they cast beautiful shadows onto the background.
The thick textured weave of Belgian linen lent itself well to this still life painting. All prepared by hand, the linen is stretched clear around the stretcher frame, allowing me to continue the background shadows with loose, lively and airy strokes right around the sides and thus, giving a lifted right out of the garden feeling. Unbridled garden delight.
