The progression of a painting …

Reworking an old painting

Before ….

… Adding detail …

… Reworking the background …

Deciding on an entirely new direction …

Finished piece: ‘New Dawn’

Acrylic, metallic pen, ink, vintage fabric, vintage lace and watercolour on board. 45 x 45 cms. 2012

It's inspired by a conversation I had over the weekend with a grieving friend, and my absolute knowing that the darkest times in life are always followed by a beautiful, fresh and New Dawn.

I’ll be showcasing this one in the flesh at my upcoming Pop-Up Exhibition @ Nook, along with lots of other original artworks, prints, stationery + other artsy goodness. If you’re in Brisbane the week before Mothers Day, I’d love to see you there!
