The Artist’s Table.

The Artist’s Table is a monthly creative project - a gentle exploration of season, texture, and the poetry of flowers. Each month, I gather what’s close to hand - stems from the garden, finds from the hedgerow, a few blooms from the market - and create a still life from unforced nature. Stems that let themselves fall into place rather than follow a plan. It’s my quiet practice in seeing and creating - a study in rhythm, texture, and the beauty that happens when you let nature compose herself.

November Study

Beech, Snowberries & the Last Roses

There’s a particular kind of beauty at the turning of the year - when the last roses meet the first frost. This first table began with what I could find close to home: a walk through the garden, a handful of herbs still clinging to summer, and a quick forage in the lane near the house. A quiet study in colour and impermanence.

Beech, valerian, parsley, guelder rose, sedum, rose hips, lemon verbena, one lone dahlia, a couple of roses still blooming, snowberries, and hawthorn berries.

Bought
A simple wrap of roses - the supporting cast for what autumn offered.
