In the foreground of Where The Paths Meet grow wildflowers — knapweed, self-heal, yarrow and devil’s-bit scabious — plants long valued in folklore and traditional herbal medicine.

At its centre stands a solitary hawthorn tree, growing where the paths cross between Lanyon Quoit, Boskednan Stone Circle and Carn Galva — ancient Cornish sites steeped in legend. The hawthorn has long been regarded as a tree of protection and thresholds.

I’ve often paused to admire this tree on my walks through the area. This print was inspired by a drawing I made of it in mid-August — a bright, golden day when the wildflowers were in full bloom around its base.

 I gain a deep sense of place by revisiting the same locations to draw and paint from direct observation, exploring the colours and fauna as they change with the seasons and time of day.  Back in my studio I create detailed botanical studies of the plants I’ve collected.  Gradually I develop the compositions and colours for my prints, often layering the minutia of nature within larger landscapes.  This print measures 30 by 60 cm.

Framing is available upon request.
