Botanical Mesmerisation
Here is is one picture series for the product showcase, ideally. But these images of new pieces of work are placed here for now until I get my new laptop and can access the product showcase part of my blog again. I’ve already asked WordPress about such a strange anomaly, they said they’re working on it.
Blogging via phone 🤳🏽 the last few months has been interesting but it has its limitations. Nevertheless it’s a short one this week to give my thumbs a rest.
Main message is that I love plants and it shows up as if by magic in my art.

Does it look bashful to you? The fantasy flower in this painting appears to be slightly embarrassed.
I wonder why.
Perhaps it is because I used the big bold blusher brush to get all the emotion out to create those swirls.
There is no shame here. Be bold with your crimson connection. Personally I don’t see anything wrong with combining magentaish pink with understated and sultry coral.
Be proud we say!
Here is what the detail of it looks framed.
Shine on with your cool bold emblushered self.
Blue and green 3D subconscious painting that never should have been seen or heard
Surprisingly I painted this one while on the phone to my friend Frances. We were gossiping away and I had her on speakerphone and my hands started drifting over to the paints and brushes. While painting I didn’t want her to know that I was distracted so I was keeping my efforts quiet (but that wasn’t hard to do).
I was surprised that by the end of our conversation I had finished two paintings. The other one is in the next post. When I told her what I had done, she said oh you were multitasking. I later realized I was doing a subconscious painting
I also read that this process is called automatism I was painting using intuition and not letting my conscious thoughts about colour and form get in the way too much. Which is why I was surprised that I did put blue and green together. I saw how the forms of flowers and a definite landscape are starting to came together easily too, which challenged me as I always thought I was better at abstract. I never really wanted to paint flowers, meadows and sky, but that’s what came out when I wasn’t thinking to much about what I was doing. Interesting…
I also, in that stroke of madness cut open a lavender pillow (that I had made for my Etsy shop) and sprinkled the dried lavender content where my subconscious thought it was necessary to be on the painting.
I’m rather pleased with the finished product. It has a 3D side to it and smells of rose petals and lavender as well as looking pretty enough to adorn a cushion pad for a grand conservatory.
I’m starting to think about turning my paintings into home decor items. So a couple days after I finished this I was road testing how this image of flowers and some collected in a golden vessel would feel as a statement cushion cover.
A study in blue and lime: Acrylic painting
So I had this idea to do a painting with just blue shades. In fact I wrote this bit before I started finding the colors.
The other idea I had was to do one in lime as Elle Decoration said that lime is the colour of the season so here goes.
So these are done with a mixture of acrylics and fabric paints and I used some acrylic pouring technique in the center to get a mottled look with some of the golds and greens.
