The ‘Blossom’ collection started as a painting I created in ink and brush at the start of springtime here in Melbourne. I was inspired by my morning walks and observing blossoms on the stark tree branches start to burst into action.
At that time of year leaves are not yet evident on the branches, but the windy mornings encourage the petals from the blossom to fall like confetti, creating a speckled mat underfoot.
The colours in the collection are colours I am partial to right now and I think they also express the starkness of the cold mornings juxtaposed with the blush of the newly formed flowers…. Well in my mind anyway.
