Bismuth Abstract

Was having some fun with photography that wasn’t nature, I had forgotten how much fun it can be to just play around. Between working, writing, painting, playing with my dog and general tasks and life, it’s not always easy to find the time or to be in the mood for it. Colours, props, lighting and trying different angles. Funnily enough, the short time I was at art college a long time ago now, photography week was the only one I was in attendance for every day!

I give you – Bismuth.

Painting – Cherry trees

Trying out some new things, I suddenly decided I wanted to paint cherry trees. The full blossoming kind, you know the ones. And yes, it was a good excuse to use the shimmery pink. But I was quite pleased with myself. It’s a new experience for me being able to recreate in visual format what it is in my head. Drawings are different and dont start with any kind of plan. Painting is now my favourite.

Painting – Coral Reef

My underwater theme has moved onto coral reefs, although it’s harder than I thought (I didn’t think it would easy), it was very satisfying to paint this. I couldn’t hold back with the metallics though, as you can tell. Even though it is cluttered, reefs seem to be sometimes so in my head it works.
