These birds originally painted on round canvases were the first ones to re-ignite my obsession with painting largely wildlife and nature…
…they are also the few originals I am reluctant to sell for some reason…
Possibly because they marked a turning point in how I create:
Stepping away from what I call “reactive” creating - reacting to events and feelings in my life and using those as a starting point for colours, subjects etc, looking back and assessing if you will.
As opposed to my current way of creating in which I look ahead to what I would like to see in the world, how I would like to feel, creating a more positive outlook and creating my own tiny universe by doing so.
