Lifes Butterflys:
Both these paintings were painted at a time of great change in my life. Both paintings are acrylic with a translucent medium added to give the paint a sparkly oil like quality. Both paintings took several months to emerge as there are many layers of paint in each work.
Flight of the Kowhai was painted first at a time when I uprooted my family said goodbye to my dear friends, so I could start new life in another town.
Song of the Fantail followed when goals and dreams I been working towards bravely were no longer a reality I had to find a new light or dream to nourish my soul with. On both occasions these works helped me come to terms with the loss of one future and begin to look for a new one.
