‘Spring Foliage’, Acrylic, Canvas, Elder bush, March 2003. Photo: The Artist. One of the images from the Rites exhibition, magically encouraging the bursting spring buds for a Spring celebration in 2003. I like the fact that the paintings are 2-d, but the whole arrangement changes composition as you walk round it, like a sculpture. I also like the fact you could only view it from one side, unless you were prepared to brave brambles and nettles.
