Every painting is unique! I have practiced with this painting for a long time changing my mind on how to apply the paint. Firstly I used gouache on canvas and I wasn’t really happy with the appearance once it had dried. I talked about this in a previous post. It kind of dried dull and for this particular painting I wanted it to glow. It has changed dramatically and I wanted the paint to Glow like the countryside around me on a particular evening. The evening for me is such a special time when you see the sun go down at the end of the day and the shadows are long. Thinking about time passing. The shadows are the last to go.

I’ve always wanted to be an artist for some reason. What ever that means. Perhaps it means being paid to create art or creating art for yourself? I think it would make me happier to paint every day, to loose myself in the process of painting, drawing, making ! Only of course when I am enjoying it and it’s going well! 😇 I like beautiful things around me. I like colour, pattern and texture. I like history, I like to know what has happened in people’s lives, how they have coped with life and what they have done.
