Lucy Culliton Love lies bleeding

oil on canvas

244 x 183 cm

I love my garden. Living on a property with a few acres means when I need to expand the garden I move a fence. This bed was paddock. I have planted trees that will one day be spectacular in front of the rocks. For now, I have planted love lies bleeding, orange button chrysanthemums and dahlias. I needed to use the reds and orange after looking at Elizabeth Cummings’ paintings.
