A garden taking flower

Currently on the work table: A Garden Piece, (study), 2023, acrylic on canvas mounted on board, 10 x 10 cm, followed by three earlier progress views. 

The study draws loosely - at this stage, very loosely indeed - from selected elements in A Garden Piece, 1938, an embroidery panel designed and worked by May Morris in the last months of her life, as the basis for the tattooed face.
