Sunshine & Roses

Acrylic on canvas, ready to hang. Signed on the front.

Sunshine & Roses are the happiest of things.
But, as the saying goes ‘It’s not all Sunshine & Roses’ giving us the intention not everything is always pleasant. You have to take the good with the bad.
This Piece came about as I sat in my studio contemplating new work and the view of what and how my perspective should be. I was rethinking my approach, my subject matter. Out of true frustration came something that was a joy to create. Layers of feelings, and colour and creatures. I wanted to change the way I approached my work and express honesty and truth in how we may feel. Everything has good things and bad things.
It’s not logical to believe only good things will happen all the time. I thought it would be apt not just for myself but the wider audience to acknowledge the negative with the positive. No matter how wonderful our surroundings maybe we just sometimes feel flat, uninspired, exhausted, and unenthusiastic.
I reflected on the sun shining, the sunflowers out with the birds and bees buzzing. Flowers in Bloom. The relaxing and calming nature of the lavender flowers, which on the right day can be truly magical. However, the unmotivated feeling and lack of inspiration is real and apparent.
Comes varnished, signed with Certificate of Authenticity and ready to hang.
