Chillin’ in Pink, oil and acrylic on canvas, 150 x 100 x 3 cm
Cherry blossoms bloom, pink petals fall lazily, a confetti carpet. Blossom and Blue sky, spring is here. In the shade of the cherry tree I look at the startling colour in the sunlight. I feel more fluid, more relaxed and chilled. Here I feel peaceful. I take a deep breathe. I am awed by the beauty of the world. My inspiration for this beautiful painting is a wonderful arboretum near my home where you can sit under the shade of a cherry tree on the banks of a lake and let hours slip by. In spring time the blossoms on the trees are breath taking. The painting uses a contrast of expressionist dripped paint and palette knifed flowers. Small areas of dripped gold paint glitter and catch light like sun rays on dew drops. Chillin’ in Pink is ready to hang
