THE PLEASURE GARDENS

1991/92 (20" x 34")
WATERCOLOUR ON PAPER
Private Collection

Large Victorian gardens which belong communally to the surrounding dwellings are a common feature where the artist lives. In their time they were called 'Pleasure Gardens' and they still perform that function today. They are not as well used as they once were with access being restricted to those owners who are prepared to pay for the keys. Funding their upkeep is a considerable ongoing problem.
