Canvas in Progress

-
I thought I'd show you what I've been up to the last few days. I'm working on a series of canvases with no particular plans as to how they would turn out or what the imagery would be.
The best way to be creative is to be open to possibilities and to allow things to change for the best when they need to. I didn't plan on painting a tree but there it is!
This one is nearly finished and when I've decided to not do any more to it, I'll show it here in more detail.

Those colours are just lush! I want to dive in and swoosh around in them!

Like your deja-vu piece too. I struggled with the theme, then I was painting something else and realised it fitted the theme. My subconscious at work perhaps? Or maybe I just had the idea before!!

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
