About "Vanessa"

Vanessa.
This is my first watercolour done after years of thinking I was not good enough. It's taken from a photo taken and before a dance show, with a limited pallet. What I loved about the image was her gentle reflective pose, almost Madonnaesque, and because I know and love her dearly a lot of emotion poured from my brush to the paper.

About Bridget

I'm inspired by many things, the touch and feel of paint, paper, canvass, colours, brushes, the scent of linseed oil, memories of happier times. I love colour, American Tribal Style dance, the swishing of skirts, the beauty of my tribal sisters. For too long I squashed my creativity into a box at the back of a cupboard, now in the healing process of a broken life, that box has been opened and Oh my gosh look what's inside there! There is so much to explore and so much to paint. I love portraits, they tax my brain and hand,often painting themselves, even though I use references from many photographers. And by the way each photographer has given their permission for me to refer to their photographs, and the subjects have also agreed to be painted/drawn, or whatever happens when I have a blank surface in front of me.
