"rtist #usan #hepherd is best known for her flower paintings, and the large garden that surrounds her house is the source of many of her sub$ects. %t is full of her fa&ourite flowers, most especially &arieties of tulips and poppies. #ome of the plants are unruly and seed themsel&es all o&er the garden. 'here is a harmony of colour, shape and structure in the two long flower borders that line the pa&ed path which crosses the garden from east to west. !uch of this is due to the pre&ious owners who were keen gardeners, and who left plants that appealed to #usan. #he also inherited the gardener, (anny. )%n fact, it was really his garden,* she says. )+e got on &ery well. "t first he would say, ,-h, it*s not worth it. to some of the things % wanted to put in, but when % said % wanted to paint them, he recognised what % had in mind.* #usan prefers to focus on detailed studies of indi&idual plants rather than on the garden as a whole, though she will occasionally paint a group of plants where they are. !ore usually, she picks them and then takes them up to her studio. )% don*t set the whole thing up at once,* she says. )% take one flower out and paint it, which might take a few days, and then % bring in another one and build up the painting that way. #ometimes it takes a couple of years to finish.* /er busiest time of year is spring and early summer, when the tulips are out, followed by the poppies. )'hey all come out together, and you*re so busy,* she says. 0ut the gradual decaying process is also part of the fascination for her. +ith Level B2 tulips, for e ample, )you bring them in and put them in water, then lea&e them for perhaps a day and they each form themsel&es into different shapes. 'hey open out and are fantastic. +hen you first put them in a &ase, you think they are boring, but they change all the time with twists and turns.* #usan has always been interested in plants1 )% did botany at school and used to collect wild flowers from all around the countryside,* she says. )% wasn*t particularly interested in gardening then2 in fact, % didn*t like garden flowers, % thought they looked like the ones made of silk or plastic that were sold in some florists* shops 3 to me, the only real ones were wild. % was intrigued by the way they managed to flower in really awkward places, like cracks in rocks or on cliff tops.* 4owadays, the garden owes much to plants that originated in far3off lands, though they seem as much at home in her garden as they did in 5hina or the /imalayas. #he has a come3what3 may attitude to the garden, rather like an affectionate aunt who is quite happy for children to run about undisciplined as long as they don*t do any serious damage. +ith two forthcoming e hibitions to prepare for, and a ready supply of sub$ect material at her back door, finding time to work in the garden has been difficult recently. #he now employs an e tra gardener but, despite the need to paint, she knows that, to maintain her connection with her sub$ect matter, )you ha&e to get your hands dirty*.
