My Garden in Lockdown

My Garden in Lockdown. I thought hard about this name for a painting. In fact when I painted this it was a blazing hot day and I was quite happy sitting painting in my garden. The sun was so strong on the board that I couldn’t discern colours at all. Somehow the tonal strength of the final painting carries something of the dark mood of this strange pandemic time.

The painting is oil on board and framed (see photo) so that outer frame dimensions are approx W16xH12″.
