\"\"<\/a>September is my favourite month. I feel my garden thinking about slowing down. People are more reflective. The temperature is often the perfect 21 degrees. I\u2019m still painting florals, but there is a creative shift going on too that comes with the season and these times.<\/p>\n

A few years back I painted a similar seated figure with rosy cheeks and a heart-shaped face. Somehow she re-appeared in this new canvas. The wallpaper florals have snuck in behind her, to become a painting within a painting. She is seated, waiting, like many of my figures.
