Nature/nurture (2008) 20 x 24 mixed media on canvasThe background is photo transfers of various pages from gardening books that were then torn and collaged . The thought that we have to have instructions to help nature along is somewhat pathetic. I used the split canvas to represent the nature nurture debate.
This is a very busy weekend for me because CARFAC, a national arts advocacy board, I am a member of is holding its Annual General Meeting in St. John's. There will be much excitement in addition to the meetings.

It's very important to click to enlarge your work...so as to see all the lovely detail. Enjoy your Spring!
Wonderful painting, and I liked your postcards too...
Thanks both for your comments. I love my layers so you never know what I might have in the paintings.
I have spent a long time really looking at this painting. Each time, I find more and more. The depth of the layers just draws me deeper in each time. I really like this painting. You are so wonderfully talented and I am always happy to see your work.
Thank you so much Miki. I am most happy with a painting when I can create a layered history for people to explore. I am attracted to the narrative that I can set up using this technique. I'm not happy unless I can have one piece doing a lot of things at once.
I love this, too. I can see why you want to work with flowers after a long winter!
Hope the CARFAC meeting went well!
