This is Life Series: Love is…

Sold

$990
SOLD

This is a part of my splatter paint series.

Painting these is pure joy: I literally throw paint on the canvas and then paint what the painting shows me.

This painting subtly contains the bible passage: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

This is Life Series: Ease

Sold

SOLD through Hornsby Framing

Sometimes the troubles of this life accumulate on me, overwhelming me and overcoming me and I want a break, I want it to stop, to ease up, for the burdens and the pains to be lifted. But do you know what…this is life. It is easy to look around and think that others have it easier than we do, and sometimes that is true, but sometimes it isn’t, the pains of this life are hidden so often by a facade, that make us believe that it should be easier than it is.

This painting has been about adapting, healing the past, looking toward hope, but seeing joy in the day to day, in the weeds that have abounded in the rain, in the rain itself, in the birds that wake me in the morning. When I stop and listen, moment by moment, I can keep putting one foot in front of another and enjoy the journey.

Thursday’s

Sold

We share a car with my brother and sister in law, and each week my sister in law drops it off and we go for our walk. I love exercising alone, but I really love these Thursday mornings with my beautiful sister.

On the way we love a good chat, but I also continue to enjoy the beauty around me, from our neighbourhood poppies, to the spectacular bird life. For the last two weeks we have seen a flock of black cockatoos fly over us. It is a sight and a sound that literally stops us in our tracks. The elusive black cockatoos are such a spectacular sight. What a gift to have these walks.

Perfect Mr Parrot and His Band of Busy Bees

We don’t see a lot of king parrots in our yard, but occasionally we get the privilege. I have these pictures of this one in particular where he is so upright, it amused me.

There are bees and hidden amongst the flowers to find. I love creating paintings that have something hidden for those who are really interested in them.

A Neighbour’s Legacy

Sold

A neighbour, in a street near where I live, has always had the most magnificent poppies in spring, for as long as I can remember. I don’t know if she just loves them or they have a more significant meaning for her, but these poppies have always brought me so much joy, year after year. This is a tribute to her legacy, and her beautiful poppies.

Too Much

Sold

Too Much (Lego figures included)?I know I can be too much.Sometimes I feel too much, cry too much, think too much, worry too much, talk too much, hurt too much.I know this painting is too much, but do you know what…it was really fun to paint, to play, to include Lego figures, to cause it to be too much.Sometimes I don’t like being me, because of my “too much”.But God has made me an open book for a reason 😉I also care too much and love to much, so it ain’t all bad.

This artwork is framed (lovingly made by me) in a painted white Tasmanian oak floating frame.

I Don’t Care

Sold

This is a part of my splatter paint series. 
Painting these is pure joy: I literally throw paint on the canvas and then paint what the painting shows me.

As an artist I long to please, to have others like what I do, to value it, to be accepted; but this isn’t always good for the soul. Sometimes we must create with no one else in mind, but to paint what is in our soul, without caring if it is liked, valued or accepted. To be purely free to be me…letting go of the expectations of others is good for the soul.

I Don’t Care: because I care too much.

Since finishing this painting I have added to it. I was watching a cockatoo, while on my morning walk and was struck by their audacity. They have this amazing care free attitude that I thought perhaps I could learn from. This one on this particular day, it was covered in mud, and it was having a feed on the nature strip and totally living its best life. It didn’t care less about me, I walked quite close to it and it just one about its breakfast, keeping a vague eye on me, but really not to bothered by my interest in it, definitely not bothered by it being covered in mud. Maybe I could learn something from the audacious cockies.

Different is Interesting Limited Edition Print

Limited Edition Print

Print on paper

Signed and numbered on the front.

When I painted this I was desperate for stress relief and to throw some paint on a canvas. 
As I was doing this, I was thinking about my boys and the obstacles they faced in life. They both have things that make them different than others and at times this has made life difficult for them. 
This painting evolved into a statement to them: that what makes them different also makes them interesting. This painting is all the better for that one flower that sticks out. 
Hopefully, when people see this artwork and they also realise that what makes us different makes us and life all the more interesting.

Jolly Galah

Sold

We are so lucky to have so much local wildlife. We are constantly seeing a variety of birds around our home and walking areas. We don’t see a lot of galahs, but when we do they are usually foraging around on the ground amongst the grass and flowers.  
This is a part of my splatter art series, they start off as abstract paintings, where I literally just throw paint on a canvas. I love then creating something out of the mess.
