My process usually starts with images from sites such as Pinterest, saatchiart.com and tumblr and create an image I would like to make from these artworks. Often the idea is already formed in my head I just need some help with inspiration.
With the painting shown on this post I started with looking at paintings by Marta Zawadzka Called Memory and Georgina Vinsun called Vanda. I found this images on Saatch’s Pinterest.
I already had the idea of a vast wild flower field, looking at the chosen artworks helped me put my images in my mind on to the canvas.
I wanted to make a wild flower field because it is my ‘happy place’ as a suffer from anxiety and depression I use techniques to help me cope one is a meditation exercise that takes me away from a potential ‘triggering’ situation.
In the meditating exercise I imagine being in a vast wild flower field in the sun with bright colours just like the paintings. It is calming and helps me relax, that is one of the main reasons I enjoy to paint.
In this painting the main message is joy and happiness the subject, colours and process brings me happiness and I want to carry the feeling over to people that look at it.
