Evolution of a design. Fern Jungle

In 2015 i had just returned to my home town of Glastonbury UK from a big stint in NSW Australia, i had been looking at alot of exciting shaped plants but sadly not painting very much for a miriad of reasons… Keen to get back up the ladder i designed a mural for some friends in Somerset based on a basic painty prep piece i did on a wobbly table in the caravan i was living in. I had no idea this design formation later refferred to as “jungle camoflage” was to determine so much of my desin work, large and small for so many years.

This painting was born directly from the original prep piece and was sent to Australia as a gift to an old friend , wrapped in a tote bag printed with the digital repeat based on the very same canvas.
