“Let it Rain”, Acrylic and texture medium on canvas. 76cm x 50cm (20″ x 30″)
The Australian bushfires of 2019-20 created headlines around the world and filled newsfeeds with awful stories of towns, lives and wildlife lost. Painting in the depths of our winter, the hot colours began to take on the shape of the land I was hearing so much about, and feeling such compassion for. The painting will be part of an exhibition of new work this Spring and I will have smaller prints available as well.
I live by the sea in southern Scotland and paint contemporary artwork for people who love a splash of colour on their walls.
Watercolour again – still find it incredibly challenging, still aiming for a lightness of touch that eludes me.
My art has always been my self taught form of therapy . It started in my art journals, a place to express in images what I couldn’t always put into words.
I missed the deadline to apply to Spring Fling this year. This is the long explanation of how life (and death) got in the way.
