To avoid hunting for a new thing to paint each day, I worked through my amassed seed packet collection. Easy to hand, colourful, plentiful. Each painting is painted in oils on A4, thick watercolour paper, primed twice with white gesso.

Largely for this project I used my own seeds, but along the way a few people lent or given me their seed packets, weaving their stories in with my own. One packet was a special memorial variety of Sweet Peas from Thompson and Morgan, raising money for the Melanoma Fund, a charity set up by the husband of a local East Grinstead woman who sadly passed away.
