3) Following a Lime Tree...
Helen Smithson
Hampstead & Highgate express
 

'Following a lime tree' is a sequence of over 1000 pastels painted by John Blandy that record a tree in a park from day to day over a period of six years.

His installation of these drawings is a startling piece of work.

Both traditional, in its depiction of the tree and conceptual in approach, it is unusually involving.

This sense of the tree as a living presence comes across strongly.
