Butterflies

A Neighbour’s Legacy

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Floral, Sold, Splatter

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.

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

The Joy of It

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Floral, Mixed Media, Sold, Splatter

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.
For this particular piece I thought this was a time we all need a bit of peace, to be reminded about what matters in life, and to just breathe.
When I am stressed the first thing I do is to go for a walk and connect with my family and nature. Recently there has been an influx of butterflies and ladybugs, and it has been a wonderful reminder to see the small things which bring us joy: these are hidden amongst the painting.

Too Much

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Floral, 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

Abstract, Acrylic Painting, Floral, Sold, Splatter

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.
