Spending time in my art room is a goal each day, but like with so many things, the idea doesn’t always go to plan. As artists everywhere will tell you, you cannot schedule creativity. Some days it happens, some days it doesn’t.

Summer has arrived and with it the usual distractions. After what seemed like quite a long pause (wasn’t really) I am now back into a more or less regular painting routine. In my last post I mentioned how I was thinking of exploring some cool blues and soft yellows, to counter the lingering heat and dry conditions outside (still present). Ha! As you can see by the photo, that thought went by the wayside. Hot colours for hot days, with white daisies somehow managing to survive. Much more work is to be done on these but they’re on their way. These little pieces (along with a much larger abstract floral, using basically the same colour palette) will be featured during the next studio tour I am taking part in, in early September.
