Time for Sunshine Print

This year has been a time of appreciation of the minutiae of daily life, particularly the natural world around me - the green of the leaves on my porch, the movement of the clouds, the delicate blue of the sky, the warmth of the sun on my feet. This piece captures this slowing down, the glorious colours and hum of the busyness that is moving around us all and the peace and solitude of making time to sit in the sun. Layers of coloured wash, gestural, painterly lines and punctuated mark-making create the base for this expressive, yet mediative piece. Contrasting and overwhelming white, cream and pale blue impose a quiet, blanketing the piece, creating focus and contrast.
