The women No 3 Painting

When women gather in private, secrets are shared. There's laughter and tears, joy and sorrow. They lean in and lift each other up. It's visible from a distance in their body language, their posture, the inclination or turn of a head, the touch of a hand or an embracing arm. I grew up in a family of women, attended an all girls' school, and treasure my female friends and friend groups. In my paintings, I'm often drawn to exploring women, the female form, and women's relationships with themselves, their emotions, nature, and with other women.Perhaps a kind of search for self. This painting is from my recent 'The women' series celebrating sisterhood. Whimsical, impressionistic, pieces observing women together from a distance. Why they are all dressed in the same colours and style of dress is anyone's guess. Could be deliberate choice or could be part of whatever event or environment they are in. It reflects, I feel, a kind of unity between them, a non-competitiveness, which is often prevalent when women are amongst themselves in private. The pieces, the figures and 'scene', emerge as I paint. There's no plan. This particular piece made me think of a group of friends enjoying a summer's day by the sea, There is joy, a sense of anticipation, excitement, and curiosity in the figures. They seem close, relaxed and happy together. Perhaps a stolen moment! With its sky blue background, is it symbolic of women happy in the moment, excited and hopeful for the future? Perhaps. There is sweetness, strength, and love in the brightness of it all, from the colourful summery dresses and the sparkling light around them.
