Peacock 4 Original Watercolour

The peacock is the epitome of beauty. The dynamic of its plumage expands beyond itself and contains a world within, a landscape, a weave, the interconnection of all living things.

This artwork encompasses essential aspects of my art practice: the simplification of forms, the forging of my own visual vocabulary, the translation of colour into my own uniquely mixed palette and my ongoing exploration of the oval shape.

Its much harder for me to talk about my art than it is to paint ;)
Words come later, images and the joy I experience when I paint comes first.

I sometimes think about my work as a maze. I go into long winded paths of discovery, I dive deep into a subject but I follow tangents too. They sometimes lead to dead ends yet other times bring about the most wonderful discoveries.

Ive learned not to give up too soon. Is almost a scientific approach: establishing outcomes through testing and experimentation; making observations, predictions and most importantly analysing the results.

I work in collections. I explore a subject until I feel like its ran its course. I paint in tied palette that I almost always mix myself, colour mixing and creating my own colours is a big part of my prep work. My palette oscillates between earthy tones, dark moody ones and blue, the colour that I seem to be gravitating towards in recent months. As Van Gogh said "There is no blue without yellow and orange", therefore I also incorporate those two, its a must!
