Thank you to everyone who purchased one of my artworks this year. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did making them. I’ve got some new ideas coming up in 2015 and can’t wait to share them with you. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
I have been working on my new artwork Kaleidoscope (6) I have used a very feminine colour palette for my latest work. I will have to go to my local charity shops to replenish my garden books as this has used the last of them.
I have been working on three decoupaged canvasses and one artwork I started a while ago. I decided to photograph them in the garden as the light was so beautiful
Where does inspiration come from? I think it is from the drip feed of information that we see everyday. Yesterday I saw a beautiful dress by Pierre Balmain and this led me to my next idea that will include pearls. I have also been interested in the pearly Kings and Queens and have been looking at their amazing clothing. I wont be using the pearls as a pattern but as markers for stars in the night sky. Ross Bleckner produces beautiful paintings which seem really simple, but beautiful and have a celestial quality to them. I have recently visited the dark sky at Dumfries and Galloway, where the Milky Way is visible. When all of these inspirations come together that is how we get the idea
