Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

A lady dresses up and wanders outside to her quiet and peaceful garden
there is no where else to go and not much else to do
she is home and safe
the garden is a peaceful sanctuary during changing times
this painting is completely from my Imagination
it looks simple and has a primitive content in it's style
I was so pleased with how it worked out so well in the end.

Women holding the light is a tribute to  women worldwide who spend most of their time nurturing family, friends and loved ones, strangers and strays.. women have such an important role as they often battle to keep the household  clean, the  family fed and the myriad of other chores they have to do each and every day  , women are so strong  and certainly worthy of having their dreams thoughts and prayers of  world peace and safety come true . women are always holding the light  for truth and happiness , kindness and peace....I hope the world will heal itself sooner rather than later !    This is  an  older work of mine, it's a hand stretched canvas, and hand made stretcher frame  
 it's a  Mysterious and  Beautiful painting  with  a dark and moody feeling about it,
 I have  used symbols to depict the 4 Elements of  Earth,  Air, Fire and  Water
The earth aspect is symbolized by the tree of life covered in lights and the earthy looking pottery
I have used a crackle medium on the vase to  give the impression of a very ancient pot 
the small fish, waves and yacht represent the water aspect
the air is symbolized by whirling things in the wind
and of course for  fire  element I have painted some wild flames 
the colours in this painting are both subtle in some areas and  dark in other areas
Black is the predominant colour 
it has the look of a very old, traditional  , yet  timeless  work of art..
I have used shellac over the whole work to give a  sepia  look in parts 
**This is a large painting,  it is quite captivating and alluring and would look
  great on any large wall 
    Enjoy!This painting has a lovely serene feeling about it,  it has the impression of both movement and peace   I used a lot of energy in creating it !
first pouring  Acrylic paint, then splattering  paint with a brush, the trees were mainly painted with a spatula  .I also used a permanent fine liner to give some detail to the trees and surrounds
to me  it gives the feeling of walking up a hillside, the bush is unusual here it is scrubby and slightly surreal, yet the scene is one of peace..  I am exploring and adventuring in my mind as this painting emerged from my Imagination.  

the painting has a lot of splattered paint, and raised painted areas
as you will see in the photos
all of this is part of the paintings character ..ENJOY!
 " The journey of seeds in a  garden " has been created using my minds eye or Imagination
 The  swirls of  orange and  yellow , the many flowers, along with the seeds being blown by the wind  
 are all symbols representing  life and beauty in nature , this painting was a  type of meditation to me, 
 I  took  my time in  layering  the paint   I  was patient  and mindful ...  the result is  a beautiful ,simple ,  
 and surprising  feeling of  wonderment  and energy.... .ENJOY!
