Beyond the Bleak Painting

This painting was part of an artist initiative during lockdown 2021-21 called Enlighten for Hambly & Hambly gallery in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. . It was where artists were invited fortnightly to respond to a winning painting or piece of poetry from the previous fortnight. I was delighted to be highly commended for this piece and here is more on how it came about. This painting I did for the artist initiative was in response to the words of a poem, 'Celtic Warrior' by Maria Noonan McDermott and my inspiration came from her words in specific here below. '..a landscape ever changing, filled with promise. Light filaments of gold...over the bleak lines of the horizon..' I really empathised with those words and it's what I was thriving to bring to my paintings at the time. A landscape ever changing, a world that follows, the cinders that burn within, bring light and colour to my every day. Without light, there is no colour and for me I knew colour lied ‘beyond the bleak’, where we rise undefeated above the shadows.. I am all about light and colour this past two years with everything happening in the world of lockdowns and for one, I was missing family especially my son who is living in Berlin. To keep my head above water and to keep positive, it is in my art where I find real solace and the spark that keeps the flame burning within. By creating an environment of bright pure 'candy colour', I look forward to being in my studio every day.
