Flora Love

I have been very busy lately, between looking after my darling children, work, moving house and I'm also trying to fit in a little me time.

My past art teacher from the coast, Julie Sydenham, introduced me to an artist called Flora Bowley, so at Christmas, having no art classes in my new town I ordered Flora's Book. I received the book and read from start to finish in one sitting, I was just in love :)

I've recently enrolled into the AH-MAZING online art course with Flora Bowley. It's only a short 5 week course, but I'm just loving it. Flora Bowley is just so very talented & I love her intuitive style incorporating so many layers. It is quite abstract painting, incorporating many layers, which is such a forgiving process and relaxing, as I'm able to just get into the flow not worrying too much about the outcome in the early stages. We also have our own online group from all over the world, where we share our layers and where we're at in the course. It's so nice to have such a supportive network of artists around the world and it provides so much inspiration. It is safe to say I'm very much enjoying this course!!

Here's a couple of photo's of where I'm at.... I'm up to about layer 6 in both of these paintings.... no idea where they are headed, but having fun!!

 

 

 

They may look a little wild.... but that's okay by me.

Here's a video share of Flora Bowley at work. Love this clip :)

Anyhow, better get out and into some more layering.

Until next time,
