So one day I had the idea of using a canvas board.
I have a good relationship with canvas boards. I like how flat they are. So anyway, I had one laying around in the studio at home. I don't actually know how I came up with the idea, I must just picked it up and thought "Maybe I can put paint on this and drag on paper to see what happens". In fact, that's exactly what happened. The first experiment was the Black and Yellow piece. I was astonished by the result on the canvas board afterwards. "It could be a piece of art on its own!" - I thought. Such was my excitement and joy about it that from then on I couldn't stop doing more and more. The more I done it, the more I loved it and during the process, I discovered some of my most favourite work. The Life Journeys piece (top row, middle column), came out on a day when I was feeling very troubled. It was like life had shattered into pieces and I couldn't do anything about it. All happened so sudden and I didn't know why or how. So feeling all that, I set off to paint. The paper version of Life Journeys is the bottom left hand side picture. This painting has so much meaning to me, it's definitely my most favourite. The bottom row middle column painting came out of the anger I was feeling. Anger for not knowing what was going on exactly but how it was changing life completely. For me I guess, I've been learning how to not try to have control over everything. It's difficult - if you're like me you'll understand - so anger is inevitable. The top right hand side is the canvas product of this but it kinda reminds me of Dubai which definitely wasn't the intention. Ha. The blue piece was intended to portrait my sadness but with the serenity of the white. Much when you lose something you love, you go through stages until you come out on the other side. I guess I was going through all the stages at once, in one night. ps.: I've just realised that the sequence of the paintings is different if you're looking through a mobile phone. So here we go: If you are looking from a mobile, Life Journeys is the top right hand side and the paper version is the one right underneath it. The Fiery Heritage (red) one is the bottom left hand side with the canvas product right on top ;)
