Berry Fanfare
Acrylic on Wood Panel | 11×14 inches | Custom Framed in Maple Oak Floater Frame | 2022 | Nature as a Cosmos Series
A garden in full voice.
Berry Fanfare captures that particular moment in late summer when the border reaches its most complex and layered expression — when everything is happening simultaneously, when the eye doesn't know where to land first, when the whole living system seems to be playing every instrument at once.
Tall ornamental grasses shoot upward through the centre of the composition, their golden seed heads catching the light like sparks against the deep blue-green backdrop. Queen Anne's lace spreads its intricate white lacework through the middle ground — those delicate flat-topped umbels that soften everything around them and make the stronger colours sing louder by contrast. A magnificent purple allium globe anchors the foreground with quiet authority, its perfect spherical form a piece of natural geometry so precise it seems almost impossible that no human hand designed it.
And then — the berries. Or what appear to be berries. Deep burgundy-black drumstick allium seed heads cluster on their tall stems like dark jewels, like wild blackberries glimpsed through a French country hedgerow, like something from a forager's dream. They are the detail that names the painting and rewards the looking — the discovery that changes how you see the whole composition, the moment you realise the garden is even more abundant and various than you first understood.
This is the Nature as a Cosmos philosophy made visible in a single 11×14 inch panel — the understanding that in even the smallest patch of garden, an entire interconnected universe is operating with breathtaking complexity and beauty. Every plant here has its relationship with every other. The grasses shelter the alliums. The lace flowers feed the pollinators that serve the whole border. The dark seed heads are already forming next year's plants. Around and around, endlessly, generously, without pause.
Presented in a warm custom maple oak floater frame that draws out the gold and green of the composition beautifully, Berry Fanfare arrives completely finished and ready to hang.
