This is the first of six paintings on the theme of The Secret Garden.
A strange, surreal figure almost obscurs the true door to the Secret Garden. It holds a paintbrush in one hand and appears to be painting itself, while the other hand holds a key aloft - but this is painted and not real. A flower looks on while a little cat sleeps curled up by the [real] step.

Most of my paintings are acrylic on paper or board, and, unless otherwise stated, will be sent unframed either rolled in a secure tube or mounted in a white or cream mount 5-6cm wide, with mountboard backing to protect it in the post. It can easily be detached from this to be re-mounted or framed as you wish.
I have not so far been asked to accept a return, and paintings are quite easily damaged unless carefully packed, but if you are not happy with your purchase, I am willing to discuss it.
