Under the Willows captures a fleeting moment just before midnight in my mum's garden, where the arched willow tree was blowing wildly in the wind, and falling leaves mark the first sign of Autumn. Under a starry sky, something as ordinary as taking the dogs out at night transforms the garden into a magical, mysterious place. The wind bustling against the plants and flowers gives them a life of their own, as if they are dancing and in conversation with each other. The change of light and seasons means the same garden I spend so much time in never loses its awe and sense of magic, something I tried to capture in this leafy painting.
