There are two things that we should be grateful for in this life, I reckon...first that we have changing seasons to renew our enthusiasm and love of nature and the world around us,
and second,
that we have the start of a new year every 365 days to mark the best of intentions for the future. A fresh start, lovely!
So today felt like the start of something new and I had a burst of enthusiasm for painting.
Goodness knows I have a lot to get on with as I'm going to do an exhibition in early March at the Nottingham Society of Artists gallery. I'm sharing the space with John Pooler for a week.
There usually is a painting or two lying around waiting to be finished and so today I finished these two which had been vain attempts to get going again after a fallow period.
Anyway here they are
Daisies by the Water
Roses and Buds
My next project will be to do a large painting if Irises that I have had the drawing prepared for since last year! I need one or two large statements for the exhibition. So looking forward to that. I'll keep you posted.
