o-HARA

Description

‘o-Hara’ is a conscious swirl of scarlet, reds and pinks.

This is what I call a ‘Colourama’ which is a recurring theme for me.

Colour has such huge power to change our mood and combined with movement creates a powerful visual feeling. I come to the blank canvas with an idea of the colours I want to use and practise my strokes before diving in. I’ve been practising Tai Chi for a while and enjoy the concentration and stillness that I’m learning to bring into my work.

My intent is that these paintings help you to get lost in the feeling.

I’m a big fan of Craigie Aitchison, David Hockney, Donald Hamilton Fraser, Howard Hodgkin, Barbara Hepworth and Barbara Rae and hope I am channelling those artists, who for me, connect so well with us.
