Just Breathe

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.
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.

This is Life (Orange Butterflies)

Sold

This is a part of the “This is Life” series of paintings… 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.My family has had a run of one disaster after another, over the past six months, but amongst that there is beauty, there is joy and there is hope.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.
