Out of the blue came the offer to apply one of my paintings to a Utility Box in Sidney, Vancouver Island. The selected painting is very large and has only been exhibited in Victoria once. However the image presented to the Municipality of Sidney showed the spirit of new growth, and is selected for display.
See below for the image and description.
‘IRIS’
Gillian Redwood
The creation of new growth is a miracle, life springing from the mysterious dark earth, reaching towards light and the sun’s warmth. From a seemingly dormant seed or bulb a dynamic change occurs. This painting is a dedication to the spirit of new growth. Out of the dark springs a strong green shoot, proud leaves. Soon delicate, smokey blue iris flowers will emerge. The grace of creation.
In this painting I explore God-given unseen energies, bringing them into focus with spirals of silver and gold.
