  Works in Progress

  Mar 16, 2023

  As an artist,  I find that my mind is always generating new ideas for paintings or projects. As you can imagine it can get a little overwhelming at times. I've found that over the years life gets in the way and projects and paintings are set aside for future creative sessions.

  After a while, I have accumulated quite the collection of unfinished paintings and projects. I feel like some are impatiently waiting for their return and others seem to be quite content in their repose.

  The painting above is entitled, Danish Poppy, which I started in 2019. I remember being very excited to work on it as it was following another large scale painting to of a poppy (Purple Poppy), which I felt so energized by...I thought yes, keep it coming!

  Unfortuntely it was one of those, life gets in the way situations and it was left at the way side while I dealt with other things.

  Yes my friends, it's day has finally come! It's on my easel once more and over the next little while when time allows, Danish Poppy will be my focus painting!

  A little philosophy I have gleaned over the years...

   

  Ebb and flow is an important concept to adopt as an artist.

   

  I struggle many times with trying to push when in reality I needed to flow. It can't always be a crazed busy and productive time. We need to rest and recharge. Filling our bucket so we can get back into the hot mess of creating!

  I'm flowing with the energy of my new site, new inspiration and the feeling that this is all in alignment!

  Cheers,
