Recently a very kind local stranger offered proteas to people locally for free. They left them outside (properly social distancing) for people to pick them up.
My wonderful husband went and got some for me to paint.
I love that in these more challenging times kindness, beauty and joy can also flourish.
Thank you kind local 🙂 it provided me with such joy and inspiration.

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.
