Mythical Idea
The world we are living in can change in a day as we all saw with COVID 19. This makes us all feel a little stressed and worried about what is next. This series of paintings is an escape. It evokes a Mythical place where we can dream of our ideals, our past or a past that never existed but we wish it had. Nostalgia for a simpler and more understandable era.
I am now working mainly in oil while painting over a black background to give the series a consistant feel and the lost edges and misty undefined areas allow each person to define their own reality depending on what their lives have given them to work with. The saturated colours are meant to evoke an other world not quite real that we can wonder about and escape into.
