Balcony Garden is painted from the view of looking out onto my Sydney balcony during summer. Inspired by the changing seasons, childhood memories of enchanted gardens and a love of flowers, the work captures summer’s warmth, colour and joy. Cascading flowers along the railing resemble petunias, Calibrachoa, Lobelia and trailing geraniums, while the table and pot hold blooms resembling Baby Faurax roses, Calendulas, Blue Marguerite daisies and pink Dahlias. Two Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, frequent balcony visitors, appear in a tender moment, deepening the sense of wonder and connection.
