Painting and drawing in the gardens is something of a confrontation with nature. Spending endless hours staring at plants can be quite dazzling. There is a dynamic between colour, texture and pattern.

'The force that lights the green fuse….' Also lights reds, pinks, yellows and colours never before seen or named. Certain plants have a sophisticated chemistry, which allows them to modulate the relationship red/green, or violet/yellow in an infinite interplay. Look at euphorbias or violets. This was a source of obsessive fascination for Robin.

Other qualities emerge, those of focus, transparency and iridescence. The plant world is a microcosm, one thinks like an insect, using one's eyes as an insect might, close, busy dazzled.

In Autumn, as the foliage dies, colours become inflamed, then muted and finally desolate. Winter in the mountains - spaces open up, the macrocosm reveals itself. By the Lake or from the great rock, new kinds of colours condense on surfaces or distil in atmosphere, - how best to create a plant? (Mountain/Garden exhibition May 2001) original paintings
