I installed a large commission over the weekend, which took almost a year to finish due to its size and the complexity of the textures.

I fell in love today!
I took a large studio canvas and had Adrian divide it into four smaller pieces. I knew it was a risk, but it truly paid off, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Introducing the “Chester Train Series,” each piece measuring 24 x 24” on gallery-wrapped canvas –

These small canvases from my recent trip to Chester received such positive feedback that I’m considering placing them in plastic sleeves and presenting them to my art dealer.
This piece, titled “Bridge Street,” is a personal favorite of mine.

Oh my, this was truly refreshing! While in Chester, I had limited chances to paint due to house renovations and various life challenges. Therefore, these treasured hours felt like a dream!

After being away for six weeks, I returned to the studio today with the intention of finishing this piece. However, upon my arrival, I realized I felt no need to make any further changes. I am satisfied with it just as it is.

I spoke with a friend, who inquired whether I was producing anything amidst the chaos of the world. I said I had been working on subtle architectural art. I shared with her that I’ve been experiencing a quietness and uncertainty about what direction to take my art

“Persuasion”
Acrylic on 8 x 10” canvas panel from my Travel Series.
It’s amusing that last week I showcased pink artworks to celebrate Valentine’s Day, yet the one piece I didn’t share is the one that sold from my studio yesterday.

While I’m here in the UK, I originally planned to work on large, bold canvases. However, I find myself drawn to creating small pieces of Chester’s architecture. The overwhelming noise on my feed and the absurd events happening back in the States are influencing me. I feel at a loss for words.

“Geometric Doodles”
A little creation I “doodled” while resting in bed during my foot recovery.
Being stationary made my work feel more constrained, but I’ve come to embrace it as part of my journey.
I hope this brings a bit of joy during these unusual times.

“A Dance of Light”

This 18 x 24” oil painting captures the stunning light during seasonal transitions. This textured artwork showcases the vibrant palette that flows from summer into autumn that always inspires me.
