I’ve just enjoyed two weeks of beautiful weather in Cheltenham and Cornwall, an impromptu break, that I didn’t realise I needed!
It’s so easy to get caught up in ‘life’ and get disconnected from what really fills your soul…
Especially art and creativity, as they’re so often not put on the ‘priority list’… they simply don’t shout as loudly as many of the other pressing jobs and general life events.
Add a pandemic on top, with travel and new places being so restricted for so long, I’ve found myself feeling quite uninspired at times.
I spent some time in a tiny little church on the North Cornish coast whilst I was away researching some family history…
During my short time there, I was mesmerised by the discoloured paint, texture on the walls, stained glass and patterned windows… it was all so beautiful, so peaceful.
The colours and textures hadn’t left my head since, and I decided to release them into a painting this week…
Wow, I feel so much better for making that time, and getting some wax and colour down! So much more able to cope with other events of the life…
Here’s a close up of the piece…. It’s a glimpse of how I felt whilst I was there… calm, peaceful, supported…
