Happy international woman’s day 🌸🤍

Winter days like today call for country walks and picnics 🌿🌱🌾

Good morning from my studio 😁

I’m currently working on some commissions and I want to share with you two which I had done over the Christmas period. Commissions are great as you get to work closely with the client and there is nothing more satisfying than pleasing a client and making them happy. However, I have to admit especially with art there is always a huge risk factor as it’s so subjective. Commissions also take you out of your comfort zone, I would never except to do anything that I can’t connect with, but I do love a challenge. These two were a big challenge to me, why? RED!!! Red is a color which is very much out of comfort zone. Don’t I like it? Yes I do, but I never naturally go to it, I’m not very comfortable with it, I tend to lean towards blues, greens, yellows, purples, but red always takes me out of my comfort zone. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed working on them and I, as well as the clients were very happy with the outcome. This is the beauty of art and commissions, because it was requested I experimented with a colour palate that I wouldn’t have naturally gone to. Thank you for entrusting me with these which gave me the opportunity to explore and experiment. As a result of this, one of my new designs is a based on red. We all need a push sometimes ❤️
