Life Beyond the Frangipani

Acrylic painting 2018, 40 x 50. In situ at Pondok Saraswati villas, Lod Tunduh, Bali.

For many years I have spent hours watching what happens over in the padifields beyond our upstairs living room. The view here is from ground level at the swimming pool. This Frangipani tree, full of flowers, shows so much happening beyond it. The padi fields are crisscrossed wiwth narrow pathways above the irrigated fields. Little shelters, sugar cane, many birds, a cat, burdened workers, kite fliers and those heading further.
