This was a commission, done for a neighbour who recently had suffered a significant loss. I put some special secret touches in memory of their loved ones.

I was terrified to share this painting because it is me, in paint. It was pure joy to paint this piece.
This is one of a series of splatter art works, abstractish pieces that I have done, where I start by literally throwing paint on a canvas, and then I make something from it.
It also has a lot more to it than some may see. It is kind of like a parable, it will only really make sense to the one who attends to it closely and the more they pay attention the more they will discover.
It has hidden things amongst it.
While I enjoyed a previous painting I had done, I decided to take drastic action and paint over it.
I needed to let loose so threw paint on this canvas time and time again (good therapy actually) until I saw this field of flowers begin to emerge.
I have included in the pictures below a quick cartoon that explains the painting much better than my words possibly could.

My wondrous weeds of joy!
We don’t get to choose what life throws at us, most of the time, but we can choose how we see it.
This is another one that definitely looks better in real life, check it out up close.

Life has been getting in the way of art, but I have been still desperate and longing to create.
So I tried something different.
I love the flow and organic nature of ink and water. I love how it changes over time, with water and as it dries. I love the shapes it creates. I really enjoyed giving abstract a go also. It is actually almost harder for me than realistic art. Did it work or not…you be the judge.
This painting would look great, framed in a series, with others in this series.

This painting would be beautiful framed with others in the Ink Study range. Spread across the wall of a hall, or a long room.

I love creating an abstract painting that is full of life and discovering what I see amongst it. That is how this abstract piece came about.

During the school holidays DS9 requested to paint with me, so we did another splatter painting together 🙂 DS11 said, “no I don’t want to”, but I made him come and watch at least and guess what: DS 11 soon joined in the fun.
These paintings start off as completely abstract, lots of throwing paint and preparation, but then the colours and shapes are developed into what I can see in the painting.
