Also known as torch lily or red poker, I grew up in south Africa knowing them as ‘vuurpyle’. We had them in the garden and every summer they flowered in abundance. I have them in my garden now as well, a little reminder of my South African roots.

Our apples in the garden are far from perfect n appearance, with spots all over, but they are perfect in taste, sweet and crunchy. I thought it would be a good challenge to paint one in its imperfect, but perfect glow.

I loved painting these aubergines…I love the colour and the shape, and of course I adore eating them, especially rosted in the oven.
