Starting something slowly…

Choosing the green of a spring morning dancing, the green of newly unfurled hydrangea leaves…adding a touch more yellow then combining with pouring medium, stirring carefully to squash the lumps of pigment…taking the largest available canvas in the studio, adding water to its surface, then watching the beautiful colour find its way as I pour gently onto the surface, slowly.

As the spring green settles, I choose a bright turquoise ink and allow drops to fall onto wet areas, finding its own route…then add an emerald green and yellow, allowing each colour to spread at its will…

Slow beginning…

…and then the control breaks through this starting tranquility – rings of pale blue, squeezed from a fine- nozzles bottle, circle the canvas, holding the inks, stopping their progress creating intense areas…

…regaining control…

The blue of Pra Loup skies defines the edge of the creation…and so it continues, choosing colours deliberately but moving between control and allowing the natural ‘evolution’ of this spring inspired piece…

where did that deep blue come from???
…not sure where it’s going right now…

It will find its course, and eventually feel complete…check back in a week or so to see how it ends up!
