About 'The Major's Garden'.
‘The Major’s Garden’ relates to happy childhood memories of our late “Uncle John” … (A close family friend) who lived in our house during the 60’s and 70’s while I was growing up. He was a lovely strong character who did his own thing, expressed himself in his own way and believed everyone should be able to do that too.
We used to have great conversations about life, art, music and nature. He was just a very inspiring person to know.
For my submission to the Royal Academy, I wanted to bring a portrait into my current work which is an impressionistic view of the undergrowth (the unsung hero of nature) and who better than 'Uncle John' sitting in an abundantly wild garden.
Uncle John was a man who was definitely before his time. I painted The Major’s Garden in his memory and being a creative himself, I just know he would have loved that this memory has made the Royal Academy... especially with those fabulous red shoes!
(‘The Major’ was a nickname we gave Uncle John for a while… he used to make us laugh so much by playing the character of a nutty Sargent Major with a whistling tooth.)
