Floral Artworks

One of the themes that seems to run through my work is the desire to put colour into things that are white. If they still come across as being white to the viewer then I have succeeded. I have always loved white roses, their purity and beauty, the way they, if you look carefully, reflect the colours around them. You can see this in my painting, ‘Neutral Buoyancy’. I completed these floral paintings below on a feeling. It was the feeling of complete joy they give me, with their elegant stems and array of shades within their petals and buds full of potential, as you can see in ‘Summer Afternoon Glitch’. More recently, I have developed a passion for lavender and paint it as often as I can, for example 'Lavender Breeze'.
