I often paint Pincushion flowers (Protea Leucospermum). They are some of my favourite Protea flowers. I love the interesting shapes of the flower clusters, resembling pincushions. I love the variations of colour from bright yellow, through oranges to deep reds.
In this artwork, I painted a cluster of bright orange pincushion flowers in bold, loose brush strokes.
This artwork is part of my “Pause series” of paintings:
Pause: To interrupt an activity temporarily before continuing.
To make a brief stop of delay.
To Take a break, wait, …
This is where I am at in my journey as an artist in the early months of 2023. Pause to me, does not mean that I stopped creating! On the contrary – I am working on new artworks daily. To me, Pause mean to take a break before I continue without changing direction. Pause to listen. Pause to see.
I am not sure where this year will take me, but I will keep on spending time in nature, painting God’s creation and follow where He leads.
