My little back story to this painting came at a time when I was trying to seek solace and courage. Looking inward for some reasoning I launched into painting this lovely lady as reminder that I can keep strong and true no matter what life throws my way. The proteas were fitting as they symbolise courage and the blue ribbon is something that has been coming and going in my work over the years as a kind of transition through time. It’s the closest I’ve come to a self portrait…I am a Leo after all:)

Banksias in a silver ornate metal vessel casting a shadow on a wooden tableBlue petunias in pot with purple lamp and blue satinStill life contrasts with our lives today which are dynamic, moving and constantly shifting, so there is definitely a strange irony in my work. I’m trying to suspend time, but it is still a reminder of our mortality, transience, and that things will fade and pass. Time becomes precious.
