Heather’s Flowers is a typically dynamic still-life from Philip Sutton: generous sweeps of fresh blue and green form a backdrop for the abundance of summer flowers spilling from the bouquet with colourful abandon. Here, Sutton’s imagery is clearly inspired by nature, yet there remains a significant nod to the inner workings of his imagination. ‘I’m trying to do something that I didn’t know was there till I’d seen it. When I see a cloud I try to do it as though I didn’t know what clouds are’, he has commented. The overall effect is an explosion of colour, nature, and indeed, joy.
