You definitly captured the exuberance of spring. Beautiful colours. The sign post in the middle is a bit distracting for me.

I love wild flowers and this painting reminds me of the outburst of colour that you get at this time of year, well painted.

Thank you.... I know just what you mean Chito re the signs, but I wanted to make a pictorial record of how it was.

Hi Sylvia. Love the evocative nature of this that record of how things were, it seems so important to me too...tend to agree with Chito a sign almost in the centre...personal thing I know.

A lovely profusion of wild flowers. A sunny vibrant painting.

I kept wanting to say how exhuberant your paintings are on the webby and this is another. It's so uplifting. Thank you for putting it up!

Super lively painting. I want to walk through this garden. the background trees could recede a bit more and not take up quite so much attention but the flowers are wonderful. Signpost looks as if its directions for fairies. I'd be tempted to hide one somewhere.

Great painting so loose and vibrant. Really like it.

Excellent - full of movement and interest - the eye keeps flicking around the painting, just as it should.

From someone who can paint this, I consider your lovely comment on my roses and feverfew very well worth noting and I thank you for it. I'm not a flower person in any way but wanted something small to do for a postcard submission and the contrast between the full blown rose and the neat little feverfew seemed perfect. Thank you again.

Hi Sylvia I'm going to have to get of my butt and get into the gallery more often...this is a wonderful painting of a wild Cottage Garden so full of movement and colour...you do have a lovely touch with anything you use to make your art...if you know what I mean

LOVE this - summery, nostalgic, cottage garden-like and natural. Love the high white contrast of the foreground flowers with the super dark greens. Lovely treat for the eye and the heart!

I did this several years ago, a large acrylic onto canvas. I passed this very overgrown garden, everyday whilst walking the dog. For about one week a year It suddenly blossomed with a plethora of wild flowers, this is what I wanted to convey. In the middle of the garden it had these signs , no doubt purloined from the highway at various times, the painting of the signs is a bit wobbly . The garden and house have now changed hands and it is a neat and productive vegetable patch.... with a fence around it. I do miss the wild one!

Sylvia Evans. I am mainly a self taught artist, though I did spend a year at Rochdale School of Art in the late 1950’s. I was then made to get a “Proper Job” by my father, so I spent the next few years in a nursing career. I married and had a family, just picking up a pencil to amuse my…
