As Summer draws to a close, on reflection it’s not my most creative time. I’m busy balancing other commitments. The start of Autumn signifies a shift for me back into full creative flow. More drawing trips to Norfolk, extended life drawing sessions and more studio time.
Mixed media
I’ve been experimenting with gold flake additive in my paint with mixed results. It is only visible from certain angles, which is intriguing but also means it not apparently visible at first glance. Does it add to it, I don’t know?
Social Media Collaboration
Sometimes an opportunity arises through social media. I was pleased to be selected to be featured by Lily Lacey-Hastings on her Art Feed.
She is a talented Art Writer/Art lover/Art influencer on Instagram. She has a large (12k) following and her carefully considered posts weave together art from the past with that from the new.
As part of this she wrote a poignant caption for my piece and also featured my favourite/most influential artists either side of my post to add extra context.
Very happy to have been chosen and this was a great collaboration.
You can follow her on instagram or via her website. https://www.thewunderkammeroflilye.com/
Summers Creativity
As this summer has been one of the hottest on record here in the UK I have been using these 3 hot colours. Cerise pink, orange and yellow. I love the intensity these bring.
