Artwork Description

Mixed Media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

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, I think it is quite captivating and alluring and
would look great on any large wall

Enjoy!

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 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!   I'm enjoying what emerges from my minds eye or Imagination
  as i continue with my garden themed paintings
  it's always lovely to be in a garden with a trellis of roses or other flowers
 it adds another dimension to a garden and to a painting
 A lady dressed in a deep maroon dress wanders her garden thinking
 how blessed she is to enjoy the beautiful peace that  her garden offers
  ..enjoy!
