Black and White: a Grieved Perspective

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Art with purpose, Floral, Sold, Splatter

I feel grieved by the divisions that seem to be growing wider. 
I feel saddened by friends and family who feel alone, because they have different perspectives. 
I feel saddened by discussions that can’t be civil and respectful. 
I feel saddened and ashamed of the inability to listen and to hear what another is saying. 
I feel saddened that we are not seeing each other as a part of the same humanity.

Why do we only see in black and white?

I feel hope that conversations can be civil. 
I feel hope that love can cover different opinions. 
I feel hope for the softening of hearts towards others. 
I feel the grace that I have received can be shared. 
I feel hope that the world we are experiencing right now will change.

I know that this too shall pass.

This is a diptych, each painting is seperate. The white painting is framed in a black floating frame and the black painting in a white Tasmanian oak floating frame. 
The frames are hand made by me.

Happy Dappy

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Floral, Sold, Splatter

This is a part of my splatter paint series. These paintings start as splatter paintings, where I throw the paint on the canvas, and then develop a painting from the mess. 
I love the idea of seeing what comes from nothing. Discovering what a painting will become.

Painting is two canvases of 30.3 x 50, total size being 60.6 x 50cm

A Fresh Start

Acrylic Painting, Realistic, Sold

This is part of a beautiful local bush walk, behind a major Sydney hospital. You would never know such beauty exists, so hidden and so gorgeous behind a car park. It is also a local hang out for a variety of owl species.
I find it endlessly inspiring, due to its lushness and the juxtaposition of it being so close to the highway. It is interesting how this oasis can be found so close and so many are unaware of it.

Another Day of Hope…

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Floral, Sold, Splatter

Hope… a fresh start, a new beginning, spring to come…lessons to be learnt, patience to be developed, perseverance, resilience, family, connection, change… 
This painting is in a series of what I call “Abstractish”. It is my sweet relied from the confines of commissioned work and trying to please. I literally will through paint on a canvas (this one with my youngest son) and then bring out the beauty that comes from it. The joy that I feel doing these paintings is immense and is immense. 
I have recently added this Lorikeet, from a photo taken of this gorgeous and brazen lorikeet that my eldest son and I discovered when out for a walk. We came within a metre of it, but it was determined to stay and gets in nectar feed.

This painting comes with a floating frame (made by me) in white painted Tasmanian oak.
