This is a reworking of an old painting. I always loved the colours of this painting and so never wanted to change that, but after a recent foray into art using stickers, I was inspired to create an impressionistic version of it and I just love it.
Requires stretching or framing.

So this was frustrating…I had this idea for my new painting to paint how I feel…divided.
To be a commercial artist you are supposed to have a style, for your art to be recognisable as yours.
To be happy, I have to paint how I feel, which is up, down and all over the place.
As a person, I feel constantly divided…manage the house, love and take care of the kids, love my Husband, serve God, have a career, earn money, take care of myself…
I wanted to paint a painting divided, to show how I felt…so divided, and do you know what happened? I tried…and failed, lol, kind of like life most of the time.
So instead, I washed over it, cut off some pieces and no one knows the divided painting underneath…hmmm…
Restfully divided?

My husband took a stunning picture of the pool at Brooklyn, while we were having a family day, walking and eating fish and chips.
It was an image that really stuck with me. I loved the contrast between the light and the dark and it very much felt like the contradiction of life: so much beauty but so much pain. From this juxtaposition can come great creativity and experience.
