One of the new paintings I've been making in the studio.
No rush.
I have, perhaps, five or six paintings in various stages on the go.
Maybe two series...

I’ve been finishing off paintings I started awhile ago. Sometimes things take time…

I was inspired by some of Florine Stettheimer’s work for this image. Specifically the green, yellow and red background.

Thanks to Barbara Bloemink for her wonderful book about Florine Stettheimer’s life and art.

Happy Sunday!
Here's a couple of images of Jonquils that I've been sketching in the garden. 🙃

Collage and ink drawing...

I was listening to "The Great Women Artists' podcast yesterday - Katy Hessel in conversation with Sarah Sze. I resonated with what Sarah Sze said about creating narratives from disparate images; collecting and editing memories and making work to reflect on what it is to be alive in these times.

As I listened I drew - with ink on paper...

and... another 'still life'
I have been enjoying drawing and painting the everyday 'things' I live with. Seeing them with 'fresh eyes'.

Sedum (Autumn Glory) are splendid this year - delightful pinks/deep maroon.

A couple of summers ago, I dug them up from all over the garden and replanted them in front of the apricot tree. (one of my garden 'success stories' 🙃)
