'Garden of Edna'
Oil & Palette Knife Technique on Canvas
While painting 'The Dame', I kept a second blank canvas positioned beside me — a quiet companion to the main work. At times, I found myself with excess colour on my palette knife: tones I loved, but which didn’t belong on The Dame. Rather than lose them, I instinctively transferred the remnants onto this adjacent canvas.
What began as a simple act of preservation evolved organically into a vibrant composition in its own right. With each gesture, the new painting absorbed traces of The Dame’s spirit — her energy, her palette, her rhythm. By the end, I brought the piece together with intentional touches, refining what chance had started.
This companion work captures the aura of 'The Dame': spontaneous yet deliberate, born from intuition, and a testament to the beauty that can emerge in the margins of creation.
