Motion and Emotion


Motion and Emotion


This is a painting I did whilst on holiday in Spain. Three canvas make up the painting. I used the bright colours of Spain yellow and red and added various forms of texture. I stayed on a caravan park beside the sea for almost three weeks. The sea where I was had high rolling waves with much movement.

This movement caught my emotions and made me feel alive and desire to be at one with the world. I tried to capture these emotions and feelings in this triptych.

It was this painting that a Spanish family watched me painting so this painting has already bridged a gap of nations for me. Because of this work I have friends in another corner of the world. Art covers all boundaries. The boundaries of emotion and language. The boundaries of culture and religion.

I will leave this blog on for a few days until I get back into my usual pattern and stride of blogging
