Returning to my first love; I painted this little atmospheric sketch in acrylics today. A cold wet moody day in the sunshine. Swirling brush strokes lend movement to the family in this painting. Perhaps I’ll work more on it for a bigger painting…

The Importance of Beauty

The couple walking in the woods
Following my current theme of pink skies, I was inspired to paint this little painting today (50x50cm). It was a pure joy to create the two figures walking in the woods. Hmm, I wonder what they are talking about and what their story is? I have found certain success in using soft pink and lemon as the backdrop colours. I feel it lightens and creates a dramatic contrast to the heavy black foreground.
