Completion … 18 paintings

28/10/2021

​Having picked up a bunch of 18 paintings from my framer this week…I felt compelled to have some kind of ‘completion acknowledgment’ … so I’ve recorded video of myself chatting about them as a whole… and separate short vid’s of them in all their little groupings..
It’s as much for myself to remember what was going on… how I was thinking.. how I approached this bunch… it’s been a long journey.. some are two years old??… others are quite new only a month or two old.. but all have a story.. and all have been lovingly created… even if that means painted over and over… until they’re ‘just about right’…
I’d love to hear from you if you are drawn to some in particular… or have thoughts on their meaning to you. Feel welcome to reach out, .. here, instagram or email me xo
I’ll be taking the majority of them to be in a group show at Stevens Street Gallery from 3 November, 2021.

You could call this a vlog… since it’s more talking than written… 

The CVP inspired ones . . .

The K’gari Collection . . .

Inspired by Judy Woods . . .

The conversation rooms . . .

The Whiteley Blues . . .

Have you completed something and want to do some journal writing about it… to remember what you’ve gained, this can be so helpful… also to see what you’ve learned and might like to do differently next time.

COMPLETION:
  • What have I created?
  • What have I learned?
  • What am I over?
  • What am I going to create now?

Take a little time to quietly contemplate each of these questions, slowly and intuitively… tune right in to the words being asked… you might try ‘imagining yourself in a circle with that question’ - see what comes to mind.. and write that down.

It’s so INTERESTING when we give ourselves the structure of a series of questions, quiet time, pen and paper and ‘expect’ an answer from our inner wisdom… we GET IT!  Hah! I love that.
Thanks for visiting,

with heart,
Denise

    Sometimes I feel compelled to share about this creative heart journey in words as well as my pictures.
