New series out now

‘Quiet Reflections’

I just wanted to drop a short email to let you know that I have just added 4 new paintings to my website.

As it is a smaller than usual collection I thought I had better get this email out in case you missed the chance to purchase one.

The series is called ‘Quiet Reflections’ and are visual representations of what I have been inspired by outside in my surroundings amalgamated with what was coming up internally.
The word ‘balance’ kept arising when creating these pieces. Not only being influenced by the horizontal lines of light and shadows when gazing across the sea, but also listening to what was coming up subconsciously.
I, as with many others, can become unbalanced by what daily life can bring. But finding time to pause, notice our surroundings and quieten the noise can help us calm down to a more balanced and happier level.
I want these paintings to be a reminder of this, learning from nature and listen to the quiet whispers within.

The top two paintings shown above; ‘A stillness Within’ & ‘Creating Balance’, are 50 x 50cm in size and the other two, ‘Unencumbered’ & ‘Finding Balance’ are a bit smaller at 40 x 40cm. All are acrylic paintings on a cradled wooden panel and are available unframed or framed, as in the picture below.

This series was once again inspired from a place in the Isle of Arran, off the west coast of Scotland.

Whenever I am standing on the shoreline, gazing back across to the Scottish mainland, I can feel myself recalibrating within. I love letting a feeling of peace wash over me, creating a stillness within, much the same as when I practice meditation.

My intention for these paintings is to bring ease and create a space in one’s home to rest and reset. The cool colours of turquoise, creams and blue-greys harmonise beautifully with warmer sienna browns and salmon pinks to fill one with a sense of serenity. I have loved getting lost in my process of imprinting different textures into the paint that results in inobtrusive patterns that entice you to come closer and find joy and peace in the rich surface textures.
