Bridge Sculpture Power

Inspired by my 100 day project, I painted a couple of large acrylic paintings using similar imagery

This painting - size A1 - started as a blind contour drawing which I painted in acrylic, stencilled and outlined with acrylic ink.

This page was a collage of 3 previous images and formed the starting point for the painting on the right - which had many more layers than the first one - about 8! The addition of the flowers was a great colour contrast and made the pieces connected.

Poinsettias

In December I did a series of works based on poinsettias. My Mum had passed away in the summer and I always bought her a poinsettia at Christmas so this series was inspired by that.

This is a canvas panel which I will get out as part of our Christmas decorations

And this was my Christmas card in 2023

Art Inspired by Croatia

We had a fantastic family holiday in the summer of 2022 to Croatia. I was inspired by the colours and the contrasts. The buildings were pale sandy colours and the sea was jade and turquoise. I loved the glimpses of the sea through the trees as we walked round Lockrum Island.

Vases Series

A series of vases created intuitively after I was given a vase made by my great aunt. I did ot set out to create vases but as I worked on the 3 canvases together the vases appeared.
