Sheila Anderson-Hardy | Wild

Wild unfolds through the gardener’s year. Each month brings its own focus: ruby hawthorn berries and rosehips in November; skeletal hogweed and thistle in winter; the acid greens of early spring; blossom, birdsong and swelling hedgerows in April; the full-throated bird chorus of May; meadow flowers and goldfinches in high summer; the harvest of apples, blackberries and seeds in autumn. Hardy’s paintings are not literal records but layered compositions, drawn from sketchbooks, photographs and daily walks. They weave together close observation with memory and emotion, capturing the appearance of nature alongside its spirit and energy.
