inspiration

Some colours can come from photos I have taken around my garden. Notice how the leaves overlap and have slightly different tones to the layers underneath.
I notice, I naturally gravitates towards certain colours, particularly pinks, maroons and different shades of blues.

As you can see, these have circle shapes but when I look at this I think of the sensory feelings. Dipping your hand into the pile of coins. The strange smell and cold metal. The marbles are smooth and have that gentle clicking sound as the glass balls tap against each other. I can't recreate those feelings in a painting. But they can remind you of those feelings.
If you ever feel overwhelmed, look to the sky. It reminds us that we are very small. On a clear night, which we do not get many of them I love to glaze up at the stars. I'm amazed at the photographs that Nasa takes from space and the colours of our galaxy. Full of wonder.

Light is very special and plays a big part in my inspiration, take this photo of the blurred background. Notice they are circles, this style is called Bokeh. The lens blurs the image until the light forms these circles. During Christmas this style of photography is used a lot and maybe it’s those feelings of joy celebration and family that I associate with this style. These circles of light are my main inspiration to why I paint circles.

If you are feeling inspired , I invite you to visit the commission section. There you can see sizes, cost and then you decide what colours lights you up. I show you step by step how easy it is to commission your own artwork.
