Gifts of a moment

This series of paintings came about from looking for joy in places that others may see as being mundane or having negative aspects, such as a rainy day. Even when I have been walking my dog through the sodden, muddy fields in the pouring rain and freezing wind I still look for beauty and things that light me up inside. I notice the delightful shape of the puddles, the joyous patterns on the water and the flowing lines created by the rain filling up the tracks left from previous walkers. I then replicate that same joyfulness when painting, by using a variety of textured papers, objects and stencils imprinted into wet paint, that elicit an ‘‘oooo’ of delight at the marks and patterns that have been created serendipitously. A limited colour palette was used in this series with an aim to create a warm calm feeling of positivity.
