A New Direction and New Works of Art

Yellow Field Poppies and Red Field Poppies

Acrylic on Textured Watercolour Paper

I have experienced an incredible two years exploring a new direction I took in my art. It has been very successful for me in so many ways and because of this I plan to spend more time working and exploring this kind of creative art work.

The decision to leave my traditional style of work for awhile and look into other techniques, mediums, subject matter and colour palettes was actually a very frightening thought. But I ignored the feelings and went foreward with as much courage as I could pull together. It was a whole new world for me. I had to awaken a very sleepy creative mind and I found that very difficult because I had to change the way I saw the ordinary. This wasn't an area I spent alot of time in and expressed when I was creating my traditional works of art. It was like learning to walk all over again. Using creativity and imagination did not come natural for me at all.....so I had alot of difficult work ahead for me to do.
