Some of you may have seen my previous posts about this artwork.
I've finally finished! This is the story from end to beginning - Enjoy 😂
It's called "Crisis". Which crisis is up to you.

"Night on Bare Mountain" painted a while ago, while listening to the piece by Modest Mussorgsky on repeat. Someone recently told me that they could feel the music while looking at the painting!
I think it's about time I did some more painting to music

I've put my larger painting on the back burner for a while - it needs some contemplation! So, in the meantime I've done this - no name as yet - it will come to me in its own good time...
I've added detail photos to show texture

My abstract art has a lot of detail giving great depth and texture. It is incredibly difficult to get this across on social media. The recent open studios I did showed me that I was right!
Any idea how to combat this issue?

Open studios has been great for increasing my confidence in my work - it shouldn't matter, but, knowing my work is good myself is one thing, having others also like it, helps! 😊
Sold 2 more paintings.
Open studios last day tomorrow, 28th September 10am to 4pm

The ongoing saga of my current artwork is finally coming together! Probably another couple of days (maybe more!) until completion.
I'm showing all the stages mainly so that people understand that certainly my art isn't instant and takes work - fun, but work!

Current artwork is certainly taking a while!
Reminder image of where we were and a couple more bringing us up to a couple of days ago. Obviously it's changed again since then 😂 It's how I work! Green & grey is last of the 3

Day 2 of Open Studios is finished & I really enjoyed it 😊
Sold 1 painting, had a couple travel an hour in the pouring rain to see me specifically and another 10 or so people have a look. Success! Even managed to talk about my art without feeling like an idiot! 😂

A lot has happened to my current artwork the last couple of days. As an intuitive artist I just work until I'm happy, sometimes this means many days! Details in Alt text

With Somerset Open Studios coming up in September - I am taking part! - I've been looking through some smaller pieces from a while ago and was pleasantly surprised! Sometimes it's worth giving art time to mature out of sight 😂
