well this series happened quite by ‘accident’ ….

I painted the background of #1 and then doodled a very fast design straight onto the canvas and painted the outline of it white, as I always do as a prep for the rest to come… the COLOUR, the signature ‘Reina colour’ 🙂 ……

I posted an ‘In Progress’ pic on my FB page and got an overwhelming response of: “its FAB as it is!!” … so, a new series was born…

this is the finished result of the first one:

#1 (18″ x 36″-for sale)

#2 (20″ x 24″ Sold)

and this one i started yesterday, still in progress: (SOLD)

I feel like I have another few of these left inside me yet 🙂

this style is super fiddly and exacting, but it totally appeases my ‘perfectionist’ side, which must break out every now and then….

(both in progress)

Marching on…

When it is overcast outside and my studio seems a little dull and dark,i have this amazing industrial light that my partner put up for me,

its fantastic, so light and bright and perfect for varnishing, can see any imperfections immediately.

so these three are what I have been working on for the last week or so,

really enjoying the bright clearness of summer that gets into my bones and reflects in my art……..

all in progress :

Finished! so happy with how this turned out, and sold it the same day. 🙂
Doesnt get much better than that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

levaing you with a collage I have done of things that inspire my creativity,
I often get asked what inspires me with regards to my art :)How to answer that with words, when it really is visual and sensory to me. Its not only colour, shape and textures, but also experiences, emotions & thoughts…..So here is a collage of about .001% of things that inspire me, that stimulate my senses, so I then use my language of shape and colour to express that inner experience. ♥

Tribal, Koru

I also continued on with my’ TRIBAL’ series, which I LOVE doing…

as always there is very little planning with any of my paintings, they are all just go with the flow, most of the time I have no idea what the final result will look like and I just play it out as it evolves.

IF i try to plan something it never flows & I often end up leaving it for months before it is finished.

I am currently working on a mix of both, tribal and sun/surf, and its really exciting for me,..

seeing all my styles coming together like a story intertwining.
