This painting began on a day when really what I wanted to do was to be outside in my garden. So what better thing to do than to paint sumptuous flower shapes from memory and on a huge scale for fun and to fill the canvas with colour. To me, in my mind it was a windy autumn day in the garden. After a lot of head scratching the outside flowers then became the inside windowsill flowers so that I could continue with the theme of my windy autumn day. I could retain the figure which originally had been more prominent in the painting but was now present as a supporting role. I also decided to use the Fibonacci spiral principle in this piece to make it more cohesive.
