"THE THICKET"
(images #6, 7, 8, and 9)
a tangle of shrubs or tree
Each time I walked out of the doors of the Leisure Centre / Library, and saw the thicket across the parking lot, I thought of painting it. When I heard a road was going through, I decided I better paint it quickly, as it may become history, and then a memory. It was winter, so the first painting was in winter. When the road was finished past the thicket, I painted the other seasons. I hope you enjoy the view in each season.
