I've been taking a break from painting over the last month or so whilst I focus on my sterling silver jewellery collection. I have recently really felt the urge to paint again. It feels like a nice break after constantly making jewellery, almost like a holiday to be painting again.
I did however have the usual quandary of what subject matter to paint. I think I over think this sometimes, feeling like I should paint "a thing" when actually I'm just called to spread paint on paper and create colourful abstracts just for the pure Joy and freedom of painting!
This took an unexpected turn when I was suddenly inspired to layer some of the beautiful florals that are blooming in my garden at the moment on top of my paintings. The final result of these beautiful natural compositions are so striking that I can feel a whole new series of work coming on.
