Artwork Description:

Title: Here Comes Autumn

This painting has a background of earthy greens, rusty oranges, lilac and sky blue. It immediately makes me think of autumn days where it’s still warm but the plants have taken a turn. Its has a glow about it, like dappled sunlight.

I’ve used a book page for the collage element along with tissue paper to add texture.

The flowers are painted in acrylic and are either recognisable like the Cosmos and daisies, or abstract. I’ve also used pens and pencils to add an extra layer of interest.

If you love flowers and pattern, then this one is for  you!

Artist Bio:

My art is all about colour.

Colour is such a powerful tool to draw the viewer in. It sets a mood, invites imagination and brings joy. I draw my inspiration from the countryside around me but I work almost entirely intuitively. To do this, I start by covering my surface with collage. This can be papers, book pages, music sheets, fabric.....the list is endless. I arrange these on the canvas, stick them down and then paint on the top using acrylic paint.

I paint flowers in various forms. Some are easily recognisable flower forms and others are more abstract. I combine these with pattern and marks, filling every inch with something to see!

I never know how a painting will turn out but that I believe is what makes my art so unique! The fresh energy in each piece makes them truly special!
