    • The titles of this series of paintings comes from the song Lime Tree Arbour (1997) , by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

       

      I think it is a haunting love song, like these set of trees - omninous and yet hopeful.

      Lyrics

      The boatman calls from the lake
      A lone loon dives upon the water
      I put my hand over her
      Down in the lime tree arbour

      The wind in the trees is whispering
      Whispering low that I love her
      She puts her hand over mine
      Down in the lime tree arbour

      Through every breath that I breathe
      And every place I go
      There is a hand that protects me
      And I do love her so

      There will always be suffering
      It flows through life like water
      I put my hand over hers
      Down in the lime tree arbour

      The boatman he has gone
      And the loons have flown for cover
      She puts her hand over mine
      Down in the lime tree arbour

      Through every word that I speak
      And every thing I know
      There is a hand that protects me
      And I do love her so
