This series " Round and Round" is based on the drawings of my garden. We have had a very wet summer and autumn in SE Queensland. The result of back to back La Nina events. I drew in my garden every day for a hundred days from mid-February to mid-May. Each drawing was in a brown paper sketchbook and I used ink and a bamboo stick cut from my garden. The colour was applied with pencil crayon. For many days I could only draw from my veranda sheltering from the rain. This made me get creative and explore viewpoints from a limited area. On the days I did get into the garden I didn't go far so the work was in a small area. We live on 10 acres and have a very large garden but I kept things quite domestic. As a child, I loved " round and round the garden", it reminds me of my Dad and Grandad, and I sang it to my kids too. So it seemed the best title for the series. I drew, round and round the garden and the painting process during wet soggy days seemed to go round and round too.
