Taking a break from the noise and expectations of social media

The internet is a noisy place, it’s also a place I feel very small in.

….So I stop.

My largest commission painting ever..

A few months ago I was approached about making a very large abstract landscape painting…2.6 meters to be exact! I have never painted anything over 1.5 meters before …

Working out of my comfort zone.

After all these years , I still haven’t found my style ikigai…

I think I’m almost there .. and I just admire it a little bit, because sometimes I have no idea how I managed to do it.

Songs to inspire a painting “Evening Storm”

.. I was having a hard time with “Evening Storm”.. Hearing Sleep Swimming resonated with my brush and I was able to conjure up a bright yellow corner, like a sunrise or sunset.

..sometimes I ponder its meaning and the possibilities.

Songs to inspire a painting - “Hazy”

I love listening to music when I paint. ..To feel colours and movement through music is really magical.

It was dark and cold at 6am one morning and I was listening to… Miracle by Hazy …

Getting through a creative block

So when I paint sometimes it doesn’t feel inspiring, it feels rushed most of the times. Like I could or should be doing other things.

….

But slow progress is still progress.

Using old art for a new painting

Sometimes while trying to create art I get so overwhelmed ..

I’m slowly trying to forget that and go back to what really excites me. …. I really, really love playing with textures.
