Back Garden Back Up" is the title of my newest painting on canvas. The piece predominantly explores the idea that all elements of nature, including plants, weeds, and small creatures inhabiting our yards and back gardens, have their rightful place. As we confront the looming threat of ecological ruin, scientific findings highlight the essential role of these smaller creatures in supporting our ecosystems. Bees, badgers, and many others are vital to our survival, just as we are crucial to theirs. They act as our support system, they are our back up, aiding in the restoration of habitats and environments.
 
Within the artwork, you'll find my signature imagery of helmets and a peace sign, symbolizing the imperative of harmony and unity between humanity and nature. Accompanying these symbols are a badger, ladybird beetle, and a cluster of pitcher plants (Sarraceniaceae), representing the diverse range of organisms that contribute to the balance of ecosystems.
 
"Back Garden Back Up" diverges from my usual color palette of reds and greens. Instead, I've opted for warm yellows, oranges, reds, and pinks, complemented by a light ivory background. This color selection creates an inspiring and invigorating ambiance, celebrating the beauty and vibrancy of nature.
"Back Garden Back Up" not only showcases my artistic abilities but also conveys a potent message about the interconnectedness of nature and the urgent need to safeguard it.
