'Healing Garden' - An original artwork by Bruce Mclean, sold in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
This tranquil and contemplative artwork draws the viewer into its inky depths. The flowers and plants of the garden are represented by a riot of colour exploding softly from the darkness, their vibrancy echoing the healing process. Instead of giving the composition a gloomy and sinister aspect, McLean's use of black seems to make the leaves and flowers glow jewel-like from the surface. McLean took inspiration from his own gardens in Barnes and Menorca.
