Where dreams come true and new art

Posted on by Sally

A new painting which I’ve named Where dreams come true. Really enjoyed working on this which has been in the making for some months along with a number of other paintings all themed around water in one way or another. Now that I have a new art studio, thank you to Bob for building it, I’ve got the space to be messy and not put anything away 🙂

So this year I’m concentrating on painting in patterns and many translucent layers. I am a bit obsessed with water although not totally fixed on it as do enjoy trying to capture the tangle of wild flowers but I want to explore textures and abstract patterns that water and its many reflections create from the dapples above to the underwater world below.

Tropical close up

Posted on by Sally

A close up of Tropical who as from Sunday 13th has a new home.   Tropical is part of the little BIG garden collection.  I loved painting this and have used impasto technique for the leaves and the flowers I used a watercolour ground to give them a very different effect and to top some of the flowers, I’ve added black lava and 23karat gold leaf.

Painted on a natural linen canvas using various techniques with acrylic, watercolours, iridescent inks, black lava and gold leaf.  It’s quite a striking painting and sort of glows at the top when the light catches it.  It’s 91.5cms x 91.5cms
