I had a bit of fun with this one experimenting with a little collage. Hard to see but within the flowers, her clothes, the hills and her 'egg' I've used patterned paper. I enjoyed the surprise of what revealed itself as I painted over the textures. I'll be doing that again I think.

A few words on current projects :

At the moment I'm working on 3 paintings for the Secret Life of Women exhibition starting the 1st September at Braemar Gallery, Springwood. The exhibition promises to be as rich and diverse as last years - with more activities and events to go along side it under the title of the 'Earth Spirit Festival'.

I'm also in the process of creating 3 other paintings for an exhibition with the Blue Mountains Artist Company . The exhibition will be held at the Newington Armory Gallery at Sydney Olympic Park and will run from the 10th November until the 16th November. I have some new ideas in store for that exhibition - varying slightly from the kind of paintings that I have been doing so far.

....and the final of Lauren's mandala.

'Lauren'

A personal mandala I am working on for Lauren. A lot of detail in this one - with many animals that have given me inspiration for other paintings.
