You are going to read a magazine article about an artist who paints flowers. For questions 8-14, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.
An eye for detail
Artist Susan Shepherd is best known for her flower paintings, and the large garden that surrounds her house is the source of many of her subjects. It is full of her favourite flowers, most especially varieties of tulips and poppies. Some of tile plants are unruly and seed themselves all over the garden. There is a harmony of colour, shape and structure in the two long flower borders that line the paved path which crosses the garden line 10 from east to west. Much of this is due to the previous owners, who were keen gardeners, and who left plants that appealed to Susan. She also inherited the gardener, Danny. ’In tact, it was really his garden,’ she says. ’We got on very well. At first he would say, "Oh, it’s not worth it" to some of the things I wanted to put in, but when I said I wanted to paint them, he recognised what I had in mind.’
Susan prefers to focus on detailed studies of individual plants rather than on the garden as a whole, though she will occasionally paint a group of plants where they are. More usually, she picks them and then takes them up to her studio. ’I don’t set the whole thing up at once,’ she says. ’I take one flower out and paint it, which might take a few days, and then I bring in another one and build up the painting that way. Sometimes it takes a couple of years to finish.’
Her busiest time of year is spring and early summer, when the tulips are out, followed by the poppies. ’They all come out together, and you’re so busy,’ she says. But tile gradual decaying process is also part of the fascination for her. With tulips, for example, ’you bring them in and put them in water, then leave them for perhaps a day and they each form themselves into different shapes. They open out mad are fantastic. When you first put them in a vase, yon think they are boring, but they change all the time with twists and turns.’
Susan has always been interested in plants: ’I did botany at school and used to collect wild flowers from all around the countryside,’ she says. ’t wasn’t particularly interested in gardening then; in fact, I didn’t like garden flowers, I thought they were artificial—to me, the only real ones were wild.’ Nowadays, the garden owes much to plants that originated in far-off lands, though they seem as much al home in her garden as they did in China or the Himalayas. She has a come-what-may attitude to the garden, rather like an affectionate any who is quite happy for children to run about undisciplined as long as they don’t do any serious damage.
With two forthcoming exhibitions to prepare for, and a ready supply of subject material at her back door, finding time to work in the garden has been difficult recently. She now employs an extra gardener but, despite the need to paint, she knows that, to maintain her connection with her subject matter, ’you have to get your hands dirty’.
