I like working in a series. It somehow makes each painting in itself less important but together the whole is better that the parts. At least that is the way I view it … that and the fact that I just like painting more paintings!

Painting number 3 in this series is not yet finished – but as you can see – the initial layer is done. This is my meditative series – primarily black and white – with only hints (or tints) of colour added at the end. I like doing these paintings when I want to turn inwards and reflect rather than create.

Painting small and with minimal colours was just what I needed after a series of very busy weeks. I have had lots of time watching kids’ sport and chatting with parents and friends. But now, I need to regroup. The introverted me just craved some time to paint tiny mushrooms and flowers and bendy vines. Ah, so therapeutic!
