Welcome to Our Garden

Hand-painted silk wall hanging
(Fibre reactive dyes on 10 m/m silk twill)
130.9 x 92.2 cm
​51.5" x 36"
This work was inspired by some of the the flowers that grow in our garden, including bleeding heart flowers, dahlias, daylilies, foxgloves, tree mallows (lavatera), pansies, shasta daisies, snapdragons, sunflowers and sweet peas, Have you spotted one or more of our frequent visitors, a chickadee and several bumble bees? This work started with a drawing on a large sheet of paper. I then transferred my drawing to a piece of white silk by hand using a clear glue-like resist. Then I used small brushes and a watercolour technique to complete the painting.
