Chrimbo Limbo!

A winter sunset

I actually like the days between Christmas and New Year.
Christmas is done, the planning, stress and everything that goes with it is finished, I am off work for a few days and finally have time to come up for air and clear my head.
It's a good time to reflect on the year gone by. So much happens and is forgotten in our busy lives, so its nice to have a chance to revisit and mentally digest everything; the good, the bad, the ugly and to realise how far I have come and how lucky I am . Whilst it's human nature to remember the bad stuff, it's so important to remember the good and to turn what you thought was bad around into something positive.
From this reflection, I can set my goals for the coming year. I believe very much in constant development and evolution. Stand still and this world will leave you behind. Listen, learn evolve and grow!
I will endeavour to record some of my progress here as well as my Facebook page

Meanwhile, I wish all reading this health and happiness for the coming year.

Watching paint dry!

Well, Blue-Silver is finished and framed. Next project is a little different and hopefully taking me closer to the vision in my head of what I am trying to portray in my work. The aim has always been to capture movement and grace. Meanwhile, I find myself doodling in my journal whilst I wait for a layer of paint to dry and rekindling my relationship with firefox as my browser since chrome is driving me crazy and won't recognize my scanner grrrrrr!

Labels are for Bottles

Well look at this, just like buses, you wait for ages and then two come along together! I saw poster on my way to work this morning with "Labels are for Bottles" and I thought it was spot on and followed nicely from my previous rant, so I thought I would meander down this avenue and see where it takes me. As a species, we do like a label don't we? In one breath we say people are a "this" or a "that" and in the very next breath, extol the virtues of individuality! When it comes to art and all things creative, there are a multitude of genres and styles. I find it really hard to nail my colours to any particular mast as I feel what I create crosses a few styles, so I am wondering..... is it up to me to decide my label, or do I have to accept whatever others decide best fits? I still haven't got a name for this piece, never-mind not knowing what category it fits into Am I expressionist, contemporary.... does it really matter? It migh...

Be true to yourself and show your colours.... or lack of them!

In a previous blog, I wrote about a love for monochrome, light and shadows, so this will not come as any surprise to most of you that I have been back to my old monochrome ways lately. After all, we should be true to ourselves and do what we love right? I think for some artists, it can be tempting to paint what they think people want, but buyers and fashion are fickle, so it is best to follow your heart. I enjoy experimenting, but have found little joy lately, so have returned to what I love. For me, these pictures are all about showing a softness and gentle beauty of my beloved horses. I absolutely love creating them. I hope you like them, but I appreciate they wont be for everyone.... To see more, head over to my instagram @hrequineart
