This version of my pebbles painting reflects a tropical garden, The pinks in this one was inspired by the bright uplifting radiant colours of the bougainvillea flowers. This is my first painting for 2024 and am slowly getting back into the brushes as still entertaining the kids during the school holidays. This painting was inspired by wanting to paint something tranquil and calm as now being in a world pandemic we are surrounded by so much negative news and worry. I also wanted to paint something that was therapeutic for myself as a lot of my usual art subjects require a bit of math and measurement. This was a free flowing painting, finding my zen. It reflects pebbles in water which again is very calm and soothing. This versions background has a light texture. A mix of blues, deep blue, turquoise, greeny blues, light salmon pink, bright deep magenta pink, green, white and gold. The close up images show the colours well.
