A winter's tale


That song has been on repeat in my mind for weeks and just when I thought I'd packed it away in the loft with the tinsel, I decide to share its name with this painting. Darn it.

I am following an Abstract urge. This may be due to a shift in artistic direction or just a slight post-Christmas laziness where I can't quite be bothered to find anything else to paint. It's really quite soothing though just letting the paint take its own direction and then allowing intuition to take over and following a whim.

This year I am determined not to spend time procrastinating, yet here I am playing with my blog and about to head over to hang out with the crew at Paint Party Friday when I should be doing.... MY TAX....

Can you blame me?

But no. It must be done. And, all I have to do is find all the relevant information, my accountant will do the rest... it's hardly the equivalent of being locked up in a tiny cell full of numbers screaming at me and poking at my skin with their sharp edges.

I am away to my spreadsheets and statements. Wish me luck... I may be some time...

  10. A lovely abstract, yet it still tells a tale. Two people in a windy, wintry landscape. Strange how an abstract is interpreted by views in more literal ways sometimes. I once had to write an essay on 'Every Picture Tells a Story', and this one does to me. Great.

  17. lovley abstract. I can't paint one for my life so I am really jealous of yours :) I love creative tangents that take us away from what we've been doing and introduce us to something new. Happy PPF

  18. Procrastination - oh dear, I know what you mean. There is always 100 more things that are more distracting then actual work. Love the colours and gentle feel of the abstract work -

  19. I don't think it's abstract at all, turned on it's side, I see a group of people. It's really beautiful.

    Good luck with the taxes, just think how nice it will be to have it behind you.
