I'm not at the stage where I can name these paintings yet. They're very much part of the exploration, but I am so happy to be painting again. It's really just about showing up, following what speaks to me, from day to day. And discover where it will lead me. And having no idea where that will be.
I love combining watercolour, oil pastel and soft pastel to create textures that surprise me. This one is inspired by a crop I did a few weeks ago, from a view across the bay from the road leading up Bolus Head from the Cill Rialaig artist village where I was lucky to work as part of my residency last year. Being neurodivergent, it sometimes takes a while for me to process the world. It's taken me over a year to come back to this location in my art. These things can't be rushed.
