"When life gives you Lemons" Version 1

I have been exploring Still Life again in the studio, with the desire to distort the perspective of things. This is my initial investigation of Andromeda Flowers, which symbolically represent the spiritual realm and mystical experiences (according to Google!). Thought to be a powerful symbol of spiritual growth and transcendence. An appropriate symbolism serendipitously noted after the painting had been finished! Working with the title "when life gives you lemons" the suggestion is to use the experience to make life better (make lemonade). An appropriate sentiments for our times.

My practice revolves around connecting feelings with memories so I guess I identify as an Expressionistic Romantic or a Romantic Expressionist!. I enjoy creating meaning from the art of everyday alchemy - Flowers, Animals and Faces feature in my paintings. Spirit and energy is so important in creating a heartfelt painting. My studio is my haven - I paint amongst my flowers, surrounded by four daughters, my loving husband and two fuzzy art interns (my two curious cats).
