<br />
I created this piece for the <a href="https://makeartthatsells.com/" target="_blank">Make Art That Sells</a> course that I am taking run buy the gorgeous <a href="https://lillarogers.com/" target="_blank">Lilla Rogers</a>.<br />
The brief was to create a mixed media abstract piece of wall art. To include; flowers, text and specified colours. After two weeks and about 4 or 5 very very different attempts and approaches, all of which I thought were ok but was not completely happy with...I was getting anxious about it and a little stressed...I really wanted to submit something I was proud of...so then I took a step back, left it for a few days and told myself to 'breathe'. <br />
<br />
I created this one in the last two days before the submission date and just got it in by the skin of my teeth. But, most importantly, I was happy with it.<br />
<br />
During the process of these different attempts I experienced a mental shift where I started by trying to make what I thought "they" were looking for...to giving up on that and just wanting to make something that I loved and would hang on my own wall, and be proud to have in my portfolio. (This was Lilla's advice too but it took a while for me to be brave enough to put that advice into action.)<br />
<br />
As Lilla says "Be you with a vengeance".<br />
<br />
The most amazing thing for me was that Lilla loved it too. Which was such a lovely and much needed boost to my creative confidence. I think I am getting to a place where I don't need lots of external acknowledgement for me to love my work and to do the work, as it is the creating and making that is most important than the feedback or sales. But every now and then I do have lulls in confidence...and the love and the sales are so so lovely.<br />
<br />
Do you, like me, find that these little jolts of encouragement come just when they are most needed? I hope they do...<br />
<br />

I wanted to share some more painty things I have created... Its all about enjoying the messiness of the paint and delighting in the wet sticky colour (just like at kindergarden) ...I incorporate glitter and yummy coloured dirts and ochres which I have been grinding from collected rocks. I have become quite a connoisseur of both glitter and 'dirt' ahem ochres. Mostly these pieces loosely reflect the island landscape of my home; the mountains, the granite boulders, the sea, the reef. But essentially they are an excuse to be lost in the moment and enjoy the materials for what they are while being lost in the play of contrasts, forms, textures and colours...<br />

Magic Doors ...a few magic moments for me with paint and sparkles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow I think i started this painting about 2 years ago...I am finally now calling it finished. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still fighting being precious with sections that I like in pieces where the painting can be a little flat and dull until I get to point where I don't "care" about them so much...like when they have been floating around my studio for a year or two. That's often when I will just say oh well xxxx it, just try this out. I like the playfulness of the shapes and simple elements and the layers and colours of this one, despite the structural quality of it being different to the way my paintings seem to be recently...lately I am mostly drawn to wanting to painting more fluidly. </div>

A collection of a few of the new paintings i am working on at the moment ... Lots of blue ... and pink. Spending lots of time by the sea. So deliriously hot and humid here at the moment. The air is thick with humidity and still and misty. The ocean is a huge magical mirror. I think the tropical weather is seeping into the strange abstract landscapes I am painting lately...</div>

Over the summer holidays the boys and I indulged in a little creating of what I have been calling magical moon rocks, using air dry modelling clay. While they are a natural extension of the organic paintings I have been doing I am also super inspired by <a href="http://www.louisezhang.com/Plomp-Artereal-Gallery">Louise Zhangs</a> gorgeous work; the boys, well they just loved making lumpy messy little blobs... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am adoring these little organic rock like forms and have made some lumpy little magic fellows to hang on the wall. I've decided that they are just too pretty to not wear. While I am loving the trend for chunky gemstone jewellery, the big chunky raw pieces are just wonderful... I do cringe at the possibities of where they have come from... whether they are ethically and sustainably sourced is a concern. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have combined my magic rocks with recycled beads and handmade tassels (from thrifted threads) they are a really fun alternative to possibly unethical gem stones.And for me its another reason to play with some pastel paint and sparkles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always adored tassels too and have just been reading about their history and our use of them, interesting to know that people have been adorning themselves with tassels for protective, spiritual and social reasons for possibly over 30 000 years and have been identified in <a href="http://www.convictcreations.com/aborigines/bradshaws.htm">ancient cave paintings</a> in Australia. </div>
