This was an exciting experiment in discordant colours, which are colour combinations that contrast, clash, or “fight” rather than harmonize. Yep, got that! I also wanted it to be a simple multi-directional composition. I used painted newsprint for the stems which is surprisingly difficult to control. I love the unexpected result.

Cream Roses
I love this all-over-design on handcut board featuring cream roses; the composition is influenced by my past life as a textile design student. I enjoy reusing and recycling materials and incorporating everyday life into my paintings; I printed these rose stems with Amazon packaging. Great texture!
Autumn flowers
Friday’s collaging. I am busy working on an Autumn collection of painting featuring roses from my garden.
Back to school
All ready to get straight into it, for three hours of preschool tomorrow.
