I have been growing kale over the autumn and winter. The shapes are amazing, the colour beautiful, their shadows are just crying out to be painted. However, it wasn’t until I took a visit to the Scottish National Gallery When I saw a painting by Arthur Melville called the ‘Cabbage Garden’, side-by-side with James Guthrie’s ‘A Hind’s daughter’ that I formulated a plan to come up with the theme of this quite un- conventional painting.
