Autumn flowers

Friday’s collaging. I am busy working on an Autumn collection of painting featuring roses from my garden.

Mixed media painting of sunflowers by Rachel James

Sunflowers II

Sunflowers II is another sizzling juxtaposition of cool and warm colours inspired by a favourite summer bloom. This piece was an experiment with a smaller composition.

Sunflowers I

Sunflowers I was a spontaneous wild ride into discordant colours influenced by the colours in a children’s story book my daughter loves called Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne. Colour doesn’t get much more hot and sizzling than this. I love it!

Strawberry Flowers

Strawberry Flowers was inspired by the fresh spring garden at Old School House Art; the excitement of seeing strawberry flowers popping out and anticipating the juicy red berries to come. The colour palette is a cool, fresh and zingy green, white and yellow with a little added sparkle.

Apple Blossom II

Apple Blossom II is the second in the series, inspired by the apple tree blossom at Old School House Art contrasted against the glorious blue spring sky. The calming colours are cool and harmonious layers of blues, purples, pinks and whites. It was bought for a lilac bedroom wall. Possibly my best yet!

Painting of a vase of bluebells

Bluebells II

This painting was inspired by the early spring garden at Old School House Art; that first peek of colour indicating spring is around the corner. The colour palette is a sizzling juxtaposition of cool blues and purples and warm oranges and pinks.

The photograph of this painting was taken in the garden, spot the confused bee!

Semi-abstract painting of red and purple tulips

Tulips

This painting means so much to me. A truly wonderful weekend workshop away from the family chaos immersing myself in all things acrylic mixed media at The Old School in Whittlesford (I know, the name, it was synchronicity!) with Valerie Pettifer. This one hangs proudly in the entrance of our Old School House.
