ANTHOPHILIA (from 2023)
‘Anthophilia’ is the love of flowers, from the Greek ‘anthos’ which means flower, and ‘philia’, or love. I’ve always loved flowers - some more than others - but until now I haven’t painted many of them. However, inspired by our magnificent Gymea Lily, and motivated by the result I achieved with this striking flower, I made up my mind to start this new series.
Unless noted otherwise, the paintings below are available for purchase. Please drop me an email.
