Oil on canvas, white wooded tray frame, Artwork size 100cm x 100cm , Framed size 104cm x 104cm
“These paintings came about when I realised that the reason I paint is my emotional response to the colours and shapes in landscape, trees, flowers, my family, fabric, stitching, paintings. I was also feeling unnoticed, irrelevant and unheard as a middle-aged, menopausal, white, English woman and needed to throw any rules for myself out of the window and just paint with colour, oil paint and oil bars and see what happened. It was very freeing.”
