Often I think it is just me but seeing really bright, vibrant, bold colours especially in nature or natural things completely inspires me and I am in awe of what surrounds us. Each and every day, wherever I go, or whatever I do, I must take a million snap shots in my head of all the colours around us and want to recreate them on canvas.
Recently I received these beautiful flowers from a wonderful friend of mine and since the day they have arrived I have been in a trance! All I can think of is running out to the art shop and getting a ton of bright, bold paints and just letting the colours explode everywhere! Knowing me however, when I am feeling like this it will be probably be a huge creative eruption and the work will end up in the 'colour gone crazy pile' like dozens of artworks before them haha.
I guess that's what that thing 'restraint' or 'direction' is for....channeling the right colours and using them in a expressive way that best represents what I am trying to convey. But you know what? Sometimes....it's just like nah hahaha buy the damn paints and let it explode! =)
Yes...I got that all from colourful flowers =P
