In this painting I explore the harmony between the mundane and the surreal. I have used oil paint to create this imaginative scene where nature seems to take over the structure of the ordinary world. The everyday scene of a sunny courtyard is transformed with a floating, lush garden that is both surreal and inviting. This work invites reflection on the interaction between man and nature and the beauty of unexpected growth in our immediate environment. The artwork is stretched over a 'museum quality' aluminum frame.
