The boys are back at school, and I have some time to myself in the studio. Lately I have been working on painting flowers. I am trying to work out their floral forms. I prefer my florals to be stylised and simple. I aim for my paintings to show the essense of the flower while capturing a whimsical and playful mood.
These paintings hanging on my studio wall are painted with acrylic paint.. The three on the right are painted on large pieces of paper. There is a freedom to working in the large format. I love that I can really move around within the painting. I like the physicality of painting big vs. working statically at my desk. I also love working in acrylic as it dries quickly and you can easily apply layer upon layer of paint. This comes in handy when I make mistakes.
I hope to keep exploring and seeing what other floral forms and color combinations I can come up with.
