Indigo, 6x6 Mixed Media on Wood Cradle Board by Bente Hansen

Indigo, 6x6 Mixed Media on Wood Cradle Board    Sold

I have taken a bit of a break.

With the anniversary of my sons birthdate and then the one year anniversary of his death it was a difficult time.  I did spend a lot of time painting papers as a distraction. This process is simple and keeps my hand in the colour mode.  The papers tear unevenly and give off little baby threads which I like.  Added texture and colour value.

This painting uses some of that paper.

I have also enrolled in a three month online course with Nicholas Wilton.  The course helps us to delve deeper into what makes us paint and why or why not.  My goal is to bring me closer to the larger abstract paintings that I have always wanted to do.

There is a huge international group taking the course together so the feedback and inspiration will be ongoing and meaningful, I am sure.

Blessings for a great day.

Bente
