Had bit of time today to do an abstract painting and then combine it with Photoshop to produce a bit of fishy fun


I haven’t picked up my camera since February and to be honest I haven’t missed it.
Instead I have picked up my paint brushes and have started on a personal journey taking me into the world of abstract art. Sitting and painting has really helped me this year with the loss of my beloved Mum (it doesn’t get any easier), my lovely Mother In Law and my cat of 16 years.
Loosing myself in my paintings has brought me much pleasure at this time and it has given me a greater understanding about abstract art. The colours, the energy and the freedom of applying the paint to paper makes me want to get up in the morning with something to look forward to.
I feel that there is something very powerful and special as art being a therapy and I can honestly say personally, that it has helped me enormously.
My Mum would have been proud
Here is one of my efforts (inspired by one of my early creative photographic images) not totally abstract … more semi abstract
For the past few weeks I have been making new textures that can be used either digitally or downloaded to be stencilled on or painted directly over. These textures may be of interest to both photographers and arts and craft folk alike. I am sure they will be of interest to those of you who are into art journals .
If you know anyone who would be interested please let them have a link to my website.
Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t allow me to give you a direct link to my other website where you can purchase the textures and prints but if you Google butterflys mind you will find me there. You will have to add the www and the .com …. send me a message via the contact page if you have problems 🙂
For quite sometime now I have working on a new technique to give images a more painterly feel. I think I am getting there….. but need to push the boundaries a little harder.
I am really enjoying creating these woodland landscape images all centred around the Enchanted Forest – I hope you will continue to walk with me?

NOTES FROM THE BEGINNING (MOVING ON – PART 2)
After I had done lots of happy little clouds and mountains covered with snow in the Bob Ross style I decided it was time to have a go at a subject matter that was closer to home (No snow covered mountains here in Cheshire).
So I branched out and started to try and capture a more familiar landscape. I was still enjoying painting but was still struggling to achieve a standard that I was happy with – I was still a very frustrated “artist”
This was my first country side landscape
