This is an abstract work, inspired by beautiful moss that grows on the fynbos plants. I used bold brush strokes and strong contrasts in this painting. I love the shapes, colours and lines that evolved with the process!
“Response” is a series of oil paintings created from a place of abundance and deep gratitude. The lyrics of the song “Gratitude”, by Brandon Lake, resonate with me: “I’ve got one response, I’ve got just one move…”.
I have but one response to abundance and goodness – and that is a thankful life.
Every brush stroke comes from within and is intuitively applied to the canvas as an act of thankfulness. Each artwork an anthem of praise. I find pleasure in expressing my gratitude in this way.
As the fynbos in creation brings praise to its Creator by being what it is: plants that grow, flower, and flourish in all conditions – so I will bring praise by being who I am created to be: an artist.
My art is my gratitude.
