ISOLATION ARTIST BLOG - DAY 12

As it's the Pink Moon tonight I thought I'd post this painting "Wildflower Dreamers". Last year a card company in Paris contacted me to ask if they could pay to use this image for one of their cards. Just before lockdown they sent me my royalties and royalty statement and I was delighted that they had sold a lots of cards, including 15,000 e cards. It's brilliant that so many people will have received the image. I think this picture is quite poignant for this time, as right now we don't know what our futures hold and everything we are used to has stopped for the moment. 

Today I worked in the studio and I think I completed a painting called "Pink Moon", it will be revisited tomorrow with a fresh eye. Today I noticed that most of my paintings have a horizon giving the viewer the opportunity to  look beyond. When I'm out walking and see the real horizon each day I find it very grounding and it brings things down to size. 

And now I'm looking forward to seeing the real pink Moon tonight.
