Allotment painting allow artists to explore their creativity by taking one topic (this one is Arthurs Plot) and seeing how many different paintings they can create. Let the imagination wander free. Nothing is off limits, not even my potatoes with bright red flowers during the summer on the allotment but then when winter arrives it is snow scene winter landscape paintings down on Arthurs plot. Then of course once we have completed an interesting range of normal sized canvases we can take the best of them to create larger wall art paintings as this market is growing stronger. Arthurs plot up at City Road Allotments in Dundee was a mess with pots, boxes, barrels, pallets, wooden planks, tiles and other allotment plot debris scattered all over the place. From the gardening point of view it was derelict, but as the artist it was fantastic as it gave us the opportunity for numerous studies as debris got moved around and in winter a covering of snow added a new dimension.
