Exploration into Watercolour

As 2021 comes to a close and we usher in a new year, this is a time when we reflect on the year, our progress and goals. 

I can say I have been able to achieve the goals I had set for 2021 and I'm looking forward to 2022. The last few months of 2021 took a different turn for me in my art journey for the better. 

 In the last few months my love for Watercolour has grown. It was after many years that I have began working with Watercolour paints again. I wanted to challenge myself in rediscovering this medium and it has been a great exploration into a medium that I once used to enjoy.

Here is my first painting of 2022 :

As the first night of the year draws near I'm reminded of all the possibilities that await as I turn the first page of a new chapter today.  While reflecting on the last one year and looking towards the next, I'm also reminded of my countless blessings and the many things I should be thankful and grateful for. As I cherish deeper what I have a part of my soul bleeds for the many who are facing suffering, str

Place to Call Home...

 During uncertainty trial tribulations and chaos the best place to call home is where we find peace and glimmers of hope/ rays of light ! Wherever that may be ...with family, pursuing passion, hobbies, travel ,nature, seeing a sunrise .and sometimes it is in simplicity of comradeship and companionship.  Sunrise is born from this idea.                                                        Sunrise - oil on canvas - March 2021
