The next spotlight in the ‘Bounty’ series highlights greens, both leaves and the colour green. Firstly, green vegetables are an incredible source of nutrition and should be a dietary staple. Kale is extremely easy to grow and versatile to cook with. There are many types of green leafed edible plants from delicate lettuces to tough and hardy collards. I particularly love observing the construction of leaves because each one is unique. Some leaves have a central vein from which the smaller veins emanate, in some the veins all shoot out from the stem, some have straight edges, some have curly edges. Some leaves grow out of a telescopic stalk like garlic or onions with each new length bearing a new leaf. It’s fascinating. Engineering at its finest. And artistically, there is an unlimited variety of greens across the whole colour spectrum from blue greens of cavelo nero to red lettuce to chartreuse and yellow chards. Food for thought!
.
Thanks to @wvartscouncil and @kaymeekcentre for hosting this exhibition. It’s open until 19 May 2024.

Not every community garden plot grows vegetables and fruit. Some grow flowers or, like mine, flowering weeds. These are very important plots, facilitating pollinators which are vital to our food chain. Besides that, flowers are beautiful and a tonic for the senses in all respects. Argyle Gardens in Ambleside is a particularly exquisite spot, right on the water’s edge, looking across the Burrard Inlet towards #stanleypark and Vancouver’s west side. The situation is spectacular and encourages gardeners to spend time tending their spaces, and visitors to amble through the plots.

Thanks to @wvartscouncil and @kaymeekcentre for hosting this art show. It is on until 19 May in #westvancouver

Next in my paintings for the ‘Bounty’ exhibition @kaymeekcentre in #westvancouver is this image inspired by the community garden in Ambleside. Aside from the abundance of vegetables, exquisite flowers of every shade to attract bees, butterflies and other small creatures, birds are frequent visitors, feeding off the bounty of fresh fruits or insects or, sadly even scraps left by visitors. Crows have a lot of significance in many cultures and are highly intelligent. Never underestimate the complicated under structure of our ecosystem - it is a precarious balance that needs protection now more than ever.
