About The Artwork
This painting wasn't planned it came about through the development of shapes and colour. I like to begin a painting with a variety of lines and blocks of colour until an idea comes to me that I can follow. I wanted to draw one cat and then I thought about my own cats how they have laid in the shade over this hot summer and how the dappled light and shade has reflected on their bodies. My idea developed from this memory. The refraction of light is intriguing for a painter and what a joy it was to bring so much colour into the image. I thought about calling the painting Spiral Universe because I can imagine the cats paws kneading away and causing an agitation in the colours and creating a mini spiralling universe of their own but I wasn't sure it would make sense to anyone else. You can hang this painting any way either cat at the top or either cat at the side.

United Kingdom
Hello, my paintings are about our relationship to nature, plants and animals. I start with a blank canvas and no plan. The images come through many changes. I use a combination of acrylic paint and oil bar on canvas and I stretch my own canvases. For me images of animals often appear and I think they relate to archetypal imagery and our collective conscious. I believe Picasso was right when he wanted to achieve that child like spontaneity and I just love colour, I paint as much for the pleasure of seeing colours as to express my feelings for the natural world. The painter and gallery owner John Lyons wrote about my work: "Colleen..., remains intuitive in composition and colour. She expresses in her work an affinity to animals in a way that invites the invention of mythological stories with hints of the archetypes. Her paintings are visual fantasies with an innocent sense of awe." I paint in a shed in my garden. Thanks to the people who are buying and favouriting my work. I really appreciate it.
