Oil Paintings - 'Exploring the Miniscule' Series 

The shapes found in nature fascinate me, flowers, plants and insects create amazing shapes and natural forms.  Many of which are very geometric to the growth patterns of a climber, how a plant arranges their leaves to the more obvious spirals within a snail shell.  The symmetry and perfection of a newly opened flower is breath-taking, and I haven’t lost the wonder of how nature manages to create it. 

Pom-pom Dahlia's are one of the most majestic flowers that show this symmetry.  I love to pick the flowers that I grow in my garden in Sussex, UK and have them in vases around the house.  Once arranged in the centre of the table, a little friend will often pop out from the flower (or perhaps several) and start exploring the table.  The earwigs that love to hide amongst the Dahlia petals are a reminder to us, that we may have picked a pretty flower for the house, but we have just picked their whole world and we have an impact upon the natural world however large or small.  I therefore, had to add an earwig to this picture, as it is not just the butterflies that like these flowers – can you spot him?
