A Touch more Pink. 3.(Edited)

If you have ever been into a Florist Shop and taken in the beautiful bunches of fresh flowers particularly in the Spring when the Ranunculi put on quite a show of brilliant contrasting colours you will understand my inspiration for this series of paintings. The flower shapes are not attempting to create a real flower but an impression of the array of flowers and in this case brilliant midnight blue and titanium white with a little magenta. The glimpses of green and paler blue complete the composition. The painting is large and bright and would add dimension and colour to any room the furnishings and paint colours enhanced by the subtle background colours. There is little texture in this painting.

Painting is an occupation that both challenges and rewards, . At first you start out hesitantly seeming to have to be a perfectionist at whatever style you are going for but after several years it just takes you over and whether realism or abstract you go on a journey and are never quite sure where it will end.
Painting has been my salvation through many rugged times and I am forever grateful to those collectors who have loved the end products.
Colour, shape and contrast are forever changing in nature and it is often nature represented in my paintings. The semi abstract landscapes convey the strength and fragility of our Australian bushland and this is demonstrated with the subtle misty backgrounds which act as the backdrop for the stubborn, often sparse, scrubland.
Abstract painting is one of the most demanding forms of expressing time, place and the feelings evoked. However abstract landscapes are also the most rewarding when they come together and there is a feeling of YES! that is what I want to say.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
