Process: Feb 2017

A couple of process shots of 2 paintings I am currently working on

 

 

Vulnerability

A very personal painting about the vulnerability of being (in a body). Painted by candlelight during a healing process & with enormous gratitude for this body and all it does for me!

2 paintings on paper

 2 X A2 paintings on paper using almost exactly the same palette. 

  

Untitled

This painting is still in process. I may split it into 4 paintings or develop it further as a whole. I had been focussing on florals for some time and this painting is an abstraction from flowers and other botanical forms.

   

Flower Power

 

Carnival Trees

   

Spring Fling

 

Born Yesterday

  

Bull Elephant (commissioned painting, including process pics)

My first commissioned painting! 

This was a joy to paint, I feel like I really captured the magnificent energy of this young charging Bull Elephant!

    

October Paintings

50cm X 50cm

SOLD

'Home in my Heart' 

Acrylic on canvas. Untitled.

Had quite a breakthrough on this one after many many layers!

Available.

 

Letting Go!

To loosen up before painting I like scribbling and playing with whatever paint and tools I have to hand, freely, without really thinking about what I'm doing. Sometimes the results are pretty good! 

  

The Song Inside

The Song Inside

50x50cm acrylic on canvas.

This painting is about Joy, hearing the Song of your Soul and following your calling! 

'Days Like These'

One of the first intuitive abstracts that went through many many layers in the process of becoming!

 

Faces

One of the first paintings while learning a new intuitive painting process from Flora Bowley ( Bloom True ecourse) 

She's the magical, ethereal guardian of my creative space!

Painted with acrylic paints in many layers.

 

This next portrait was painted with a photographic reference. I was interested in the way people use nature as decoration & adornment, and wanted further practice in painting faces

& Another intuitively channeled elemental being that turned up in a painting at the last moment...

 

First Painting- 'Feather Light'

Feather Light

12"x12"

Acrylic on canvas.  The first painting from the new studio, September 2016. 

Studio

In September 2017 I was given this beautiful studio which was the beginning of a whole new chapter of exploration & expression. I'd harboured a long buried desire to paint for years, and having this space finally gave me permission to do that! Looking back now, I know it's silly... I needn't have waited for the right space- imagine if it had not come along for another decade or two... Or never at all... It's best to just jump in and start doing what you love as soon as you can, making the most of what you have!
