Live music, live art

Something a little bit different to my normal stuff. Mostly inspired by Vincents sunflowers, but with a difference, of course;-)

I think my painting style is emerging. A sort of graphic eclectic look. I love to sweep and squiggle the paint around, dragging it in swirly motions across the canvas. I'm having a lot of fun painting melting ice creams. I love the way that the paintings look like landscapes and sort of make a mockery of still life studies. I'm not sure if this is normal but I often find amusement in the things I paint... Like a visual joke, in a demented sort of way, images crop up into my head and make me grin.

The store is open! Thanks to paypal you now have the opportunity to purchase direct from me online. Be sure to keep an eye on the shop online using paypal page as all of my available work will be on there!

There is something amazing about mosaics. Even the simplest of designs can look stunning. I plan to start trading through my website soon using paypal. Once these are finished I will be selling them:-)

I wish I were a prolific painter who always had something to show off every day... but I'm not. Instead I labor over the smallest of details for hours and days. Always aspiring to reach that ever elusive point of perfection! It's just me, just part of who I am. I don't like making unfinished work. I wouldn't expect to hang it on my own walls if it were unfinished. Its like this: if it could look better than it does then it should look better than it does! Why just settle for mediocre? I want exceptional! Well, that is always my aim anyways. I think I'm continually trying to outdo myself.

I've always been a colouring in book girl. It really shows in this piece.
Hope you all like it:-)

My mind has become wary of conceptualising. It's good to just stop and have a break and let the images flow again, free from a self imposed mental constraint - be it a theme or knowing too much about where I want an image to go - rather than experimenting and evolving new ideas as I work. 

I suppose this piece is an ode to freedom.
