Very good days

Very good days 

In a busy modern world we often have to rely on our “to do” lists so we don’t forget everything we have to get through boxing us into a rigid way of life, the box symbolises this type of cage. What if we were free to choose, would the day really be wasted? I say no and display that by ticking off a very satisfying and self productive day that spills outside of the box.

About My Poetry Art Prints

The art that accompanies my poetry is a type of abstract expression of the theme and/or emotion that the poem conveys. I do not use paint brushes instead I collect leaves, bark, stones, flowers, seeds or whatever interesting shape I find on a walk out in nature or in my garden, then I dip them in the paint to discover different patterns, I also use artist palette knives to enhance these shapes.

As I am painting through a process of experimentation it does not always turn out the way I imagine so I must re-imagine persisting through trial and error. The final art piece may then be the accumulation of three or four attempts painted over each other. However it is the “mistakes” that are ultimately the guiding light that contribute to the formation of the end result.

I take my inspiration from observing the world around me and I learn through the process of experimentation. For me to experiment is to discover.
