Inspired by?

Here are a couple of new paintings from the studio. Can you guess what they are inresponse to?!



The second goodbye

It hasn't happened yet...... but its imminent. My beautiful red bedroom is going. I have lost the war but won a battle in that at least it won't be magnolia'd, some of it will be very definately TEAL!!

I remember exactly how i felt when I saw this room on the first viewing. I fell head over heals in love with it, and KNEW I had to have this flat. I had always wanted to paint a room this colour, and here is was! Fate! I never thought it possible to fall in love with a space, but i did, and I am still passionate about it. But again, it has to go FOR THE GREATER GOOD......

This whole experience so far has been pretty traumatic and a real wrench. I had no idea how emotionally attached to the place I am until we started painting and decorating it. But now it is all about just getting through and getting it DONE. I want my space back, even if it has been magnolia'd beyond all recognition.....
