Caught in the Moment
Caught in the moment
This painting came about from the process I took with the above piece, ‘Circles of Perception’. However I wanted to create it with colour and it became so much more. As someone who is neruodivergent I am very much connected to sights, sounds and smells, the senses if you like, and as I was creating this it made me feel I was out enjoying an evening encapsulated by all of these senses. Like when I went to see the Christmas lights at Hylands House or a night market in Thailand in my younger days. With the smells of the food and the lights in the night, enjoying a happy moment, with loved ones or when travelling alone.
In The Shadows of my Mind
In the Shadows of my mind
A watercolour piece. My thoughts when starting this piece was to have something very tight in the middle, like the hustle and bustle of the city and to move out into something calm and soft and more inviting. Never thought it would end up like this. It brings me joy to look at it, I dont know why, but I hope it does the same for you too. Maybe it’s because I can look at the stress and fast pace of working from a distance now. Something I never thought I could do. The two faces look calm and content to me on the hills, enjoying some space and solace being able to be together. Probably because I find I can be there for my Son again. The most beautiful person in my life. Work was making me too tired to cook and clean and I was not able to keep up with the demands of life. My health had come to complete burn out. But now we are on the right path and this brings such contentment.
We only see what we want to see
This was a battle of a painting. Not sure how it started but it just evolved. One that didn’t seem to want to come easily and over days of playing around with it a face started to emerge. Not intended. I have never painted portraiture and wasn’t sure that was what I wanted either, as my work is more conceptual. However, as soon as I painted out the eyes it all made sense. I have spent a lifetime of being who I thought I should be to fit in. I saw the world as I thought I should. But now, I AM STARTING TO SEE IT IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY. Not through the eyes of the media or the education we receive. It is more natural. comes from me, from within. So I see what I want to see now. Not what I thought I should be seeing. Very interesting to realise that whilst painting a picture.
