Original artwork description:

A4 acrylic and ink on 250gsm paper.

Another illustration from a series of cemetery sojourns, this time from the immense, treasure-filled Loyasse cemetery in Lyon. The very same graveyard A couple of artist friends and I were briefly trapped in after a sunny afternoon's drawing. Several circuits of the vast cemetery and some wall scaling and we emerged unscathed, those years of bouldering were not wasted!

The purple flower is a Dalmatian bell flower, grown in our own garden in the sky (the window box of our apartment). The flowers have their own life and death story to tell, starting life unhappy in a pot in the windowsill, overcome with chickweed. Some gentle tending on my part, some sun and lots of rain, revivified them and for the last three weeks they have been constant a source of violet joy.
