The year began with me staring at the hydrangea that grew in my garden last summer. The blossom that was once a creamy pale yellow has dried in a vase to a beautiful sienna colour.
I have always gone back to painting flowers through my career. This season is no exception. I play with technique and composition. My palette ranges from warm, earthy hues to neon colours. A bouquet of painted flowers somehow brings me a sense of stability and peace. It reminds me how bright colours spring from the earth, which is magical when you think about it. With the new year there is always the promise of new colour.
