We are on the road again! The bags are down and lists are being made and modified. We are leaving in two weeks for the Northern Hemisphere, we are planning to spend a year living and working in Scotland. There is so much to do!
Hi Carol, thanks for dropping by. Yes, I will blog from Scotland, it will be good to keep all the connections when going to a strange new place to live.
OMIGOSH! What exciting news! Will look forward to seeing it all through your eyes,,,and to observe what (if any) changes your art will hold from a new perspective. Be safe,,and above all, have fun!
Oh wow Di - I've just come back from the top end of the world and it's COLD! Pack your winter woolies! Will miss you but have a great time and will be watching for your posts.
Hmm.... I thought for sure I'd left a comment. In any event. Lots of love to you. I hope that you are settled by now and comfy and enjoying. Much love....
I paint mostly intuitively, guided by the principals of visual harmony, initially, in a purely abstract manner dealing only with line, colour and texture. I often start my work devoid of any subject matter, allowing the images to be revealed rather than dictating the direction of the painting. As the painting progresses, it may germinate thoughts, ideas, feelings or dreams which need to be transformed into visual images, using my own alphabet of symbols. The painting may take many transformations, until the work arrives at its destination and is complete.
