Exploring the abstract landscape of the heart

This is still all about the land and sea near Allihies on the Beara Peninsula. Something is pulling at my heart there. I don't yet have the words to explain it. I took some of the abstract sketches I did on location that day that I got sunburnt. And I'm deconstructing and reconstructing until it feels right. This square is less than 20x20cm. The squiggles are Neocolor. I hope it will be a stepping stone to something larger. At each step, I'm hoping to let my intuition guide me. And also, I'm planning to do this in watercolour and maybe oil pastel. But I'm not going to work in Acrylic layers, so I'm maybe making life a bit more difficult for myself. But watercolour is what I love and I have to listen to that voice inside of me.


With this one, I have taken elements that were cropped out, and put them back in, where they felt right for the composition.

This was the original crop
