On a roll! continuing my love affair with Ocean / Reef/ Sea themes. I have 2 more completed & sold in the last 3 weeks. Revisiting this ‘older’ style (last time I painted like this was 2017 for the huge commercial stairwell installation ) has been so refreshing. Painting with new perspective, fresh eyes, and a deeper love for my process & my creative journey. Patience & discernment are my biggest learning curves over the last few years, just because my inspo, concept & flow is at a hundred miles an hour, does not mean my process has to be as well. Taking my time with deep consideration.

More on the Paua piece in another dedicated post soon.

Both these pieces have sold. 🙂

Stabicraft approached me a few weeks ago, and asked if they could use my artwork , ‘Seabed’, to wrap one of their boats for the NZ Boatshow. This is the result doesn’t it look amazing! The boat sold within half an hour of the show opening, the new owners loved the art!
West Coast Boat Wraps did an amazing job!

Here is my latest painting. I got inspired after a boat company licensed my seabed image for a boat wrap ( will post separately on that) and I felt excited to paint something in that theme & style again. The entire painting (100cm x 75cm) took less than a week, it all came together with an ease & flow of this style that I haven’t tapped into in years. I used acrylics & acrylic inks. A most enjoyable refreshing experience!

Sold 🙂

Painting Paua / Abalone

Cropped piece of large wall mural of NZ Seabed.

This was a real challenge. The perfectionist in me needed this to be exactly right, the feel of it, the colours everything had to be exactly as I sensed it should be and I was settling for nothing less. I painted over it three times completely wiping it out and starting again , before I manage to finally get on a roll that felt on the right track.

Relief! That is the feeling when everything else Floyd so easily with this painting and this is completely stopped me in my tracks. The end result I am thrilled with and it sits perfectly and balance with the rest of the painting.
