So totally excited about my next show – it starts next Tuesday.  Far out- NEXT Tuesday!

I’m finding it really hard to decide between exhibiting a cohesive body of work ( in a similar style/similar colour ways etc) or whether to show a more diverse collection of my work.  It’s a tricky one.

Many artists work is so obviously ‘theirs’ – from the first glimpse it’s got to be their work.  I like this .  I love the predictable and comfortable feeling of knowing whose work it is and then with a more intense viewing the thrill of seeing what subtle changes have been made.  Subtle  changes in technique or using opposing colours or a slightly altered subject matter.   This is the soul of the artist coming out of the canvas.

I think perhaps I’m finding this difficult to reconcile in my own head because I have so dramatically changed my subject matter over the past year.  I was all about continuous circles and curvaceous round shapes and now it’s all gone a little angular – but with a happy tone.  My mood has lifted and I’m into celebrating and enjoying my painting.

My work in this next show will be ‘me’ – quite obviously me,  but will be a little varied in tone and emotion.  Some of the work emanating from my heart and finger tips recently has been electric and vibrant and some more subdued and romantic.  I think my collection will be quite diverse to view.

Diversity is where it’s at for me at the moment.  I’m still finding myself…….aren’t we all.
