A Busy Plot, 36”x36”, oil on canvas
.
.
I’ll take you through the Bounty show painting by painting, showing my process - both of painting and my intentions. I’ll post in the order I painted.
.
I am fascinated by how plants grow- from a minuscule seed to a plant that can provide food and sustenance. The roots that emerge, the veins on each leaf, the sweet juice from the fruit or the brilliant colours in the petals. It’s very magical. Buying food at a store can easily bypass the understanding of how ingenious nature is and how fragile it is. Unfortunately we are in a crisis state with climate change and human destruction and we need to maintain awareness of the foundation of this precious food system in order not to destroy it further.
.
I rent a community plot in West Vancouver and the paintings in this show are inspired by that.
.
Thanks to @wvartscouncil and @kaymeekcentre for presenting the show.

OPENING DAY!🖼️ (+ yesterday’s delivery in the pouring rain and setting up )

Working for this exhibition, from proposal to painting to delivery in the pouring rain has been an exhilarating journey. Thanks to @wvartscouncil for the opportunity to submit my ideas and show my work and to @kaymeekcentre for the wonderful space in which to hang it. Also, a shout out to my talented co-exhibitor @mahtabfirouzabadi.art.

The theme of the show is ‘Bounty’. In the coming days I will share details of each picture and the inspiration for it. Meantime, please come and enjoy the show if you can and happy growing! 🪴🌱🍄🍅🥬
