Barney Glade and his Contentments

Oil on canvas. 60cm x 50cm. Framed. I love this painting and have refused to sell it. One day I am going to give it to a friend who loves it as much as I do. The name "Barney Glade" came to me in a moment of madness along with my desire to paint cabbages. The idea of the cabbages came from the painting "Watching the cabbages grow". I will paint some more backyards with cabbages one day when I get my present obsession with brick buildings out of my system. The woman in this painting is a dear friend of mine who had a very old photo of herself hanging out nappies and this proved to be the perfect pose for Barney's woman hanging out his clothes. Who is Barney? My dad who loved his wife, children and garden.
