Rockpools
My inspiration for the abstracted view of a rockpool was the joy of discovering some of the unexpected and quirky shapes, colours and textures. Each of the rocks depicted are created to bring joy and happiness to the viewer with their surprising bands of colour and embroidery like patternations.
When I looked in rockpools I loved finding a smooth rock or a different coloured rock with a band of colour or a textured lichen covered rock. I have made sizes from 100cm x 100cm down to 30cm x 30cm. I hope you like them as much as I like making them. Very meditative.
I am painting the sky and plan to add some more details including a little colour and more. I find blues and greens some of the hardest colours to work out or to get just right. The smaller painting was for a little girl so I wanted some joy in the blue colour. The rectangular one is the larger piece. I had already gone a little too deep with the blue sky which I have rectified below. It’s not as dark as it looks here. I have more to do on it before I would say it is finished.
The still-life painting is by Jan. Jan comes by for workshops with me and paints from scratch or reworks paintings that she had shelved for a long time. The gorgeous painting below was an old one that now has a new lease of life.
