From my studio’s window I look out onto my garden where lots of zinnias are in fill bloom. This is my impression of the wild profusion of colour that meets my eye every time I look out the window. I have used a palette knife and have pasted the paint thick, in impasto style, onto the canvas. Although this painting has been painted with a palette knife, the flowers still look fragile and translucent.

When framed, this painting will sell at about R6000 in a gallery.

Although everything possible has been done to recreate precision in every detail, the image may differ slightly in colour and intensity to the original painting.
