One of the artists I most admire is Nora Kasten. Her wonderful Ruby Gem painting has been like a salve to my soul - I look at it and just sink into the beauty. So it is only to be expected I guess, that some of my work should be somewhat along the same line. Nothing is even remotely a copy - I could not copy her work for anything (I am not nearly good enough!) but the colours, the general flow - those are influenced heavily by Nora's painting. At this point, working with these colours and this flow is my relaxation. I have done several paintings - more than I have photos of even! - and have found every one to be a source of tranquility to me. Each is different, yet the same. The top one is the largest and Colin's favourite. He says it seems Egyptian to him somehow. I am not sure that I see that but do like it too.
These next two are slightly smaller than Colin's favourite. Rhys likes the light on the one above and I like the lower one - somehow it looks like a teapot to me
This last one is tiny - about the size of a coaster - and remains one of my favourites too. I keep wondering how I can protect it and make it into a coaster at the same time! Maybe a frame and glass over it.
