'Floating in Paradise'
ARTIST STATEMENT AND INSPIRATION -
“What is this life, if full of care; we have no time to stand and stare.” W.H. Davies
I wanted to create a painting that reminds us to not take life too seriously, to lie back and enjoy going with the flow of life’s stream - because we often get so caught up in our own race.
I love how this painting is full of little surprises - from hidden ladybirds and bees, to the intricate details of the Washi papers used to create the fishes.
Textures created from actual leaves from my garden, a combination of the 23k warm yellow Russian gold leaf vs the cooler temperature of the Japanese Shinagawa gold leaf, this painting brings instant magic to any space it is in.
