4 DISPAIR
This is not what I had originally planned for this, I was trying to paint a waterfall looking down from the top, so I was standing on the edge of the water fall feeling I was about to fall in to the depths of despair, I spent several days trying to paint this waterfall but it just wasn’t working, I felt so annoyed and frustrated so in the end I spent about 2 hours’ total caught up with painting what looks like an explosion of despair which is how I felt, but it worked and I felt happier at the end of it.
Can’t say I love this one, but it is one of my babies, it was a very intense moment, I remember feeling highly excited at the fact that I was just slapping the paint on the canvas to the point that when I was finished I was shaking, but quite euphoric .
- CONTENTMENT in 3D
This is a 3D sculpture of the painting of contentment, it’s made out of High impact polystyrene and so is very light weight has a light in the center so that when it’s on it has the feeling of the column of light is pointing to the stars, the collar round the outside has a splash pattern cut out of it and stands on a pillar.
This is my favorite, I am total surprised of how good it looks, and how well it went when making the separate parts , I have to say I love it.
I was totally caught up in what I was doing… couldn’t wait to get back to the painting… and as each canvas was coming to its completion had the next work on the go in my head… and each time I finished a canvas and stepped back to look at it… was totally blown away with it… was totally in love with it… and also, totally surprised that I actually produced that canvas.
