“I painted this in the winter of 2023. With my garden in winter’s decay, it was nice to paint a spring paddock. This one is a bit of Pāhiatua, a bit my imagination. I love how, even away from my formal garden, there is another garden wildly growing outside the boundaries of my farm gate. I painted a view of what maybe it would be if it wasn’t grazed, and the weeds went wild.”
