Solitude

Solitude
Oil on stretched canvas,12"x9"
SOLD
Part of being an artist is solitude,working away at whatever is our latest piece of art.That peaceful space is something I have always enjoyed.I remember as a child spending time by our local pond making little dishes out of the wet clay,and coming home covered in mud and clay,much to my mum's dismay! Great times indeed.

  2. I really love this one! Very well done. Your are so right about solitude being a big part of an artist's life. Although I'm pretty social, I do enjoy peaceful time to myself and I remember as a child being very content to play alone for hours. Guess that makes hours in the studio enjoyable.

  3. Hello Azra:) This loneliness is maybe the most important thing for me when painting. It is delicious. In my own world with my own thoughts. I could not live without it anymore.
    Your rose let see exactly what I mean. Nice!

  4. I love the rose, Azra, but I am in awe of the leaves. You have such a gentle touch, and it's lovely!

    I enjoy my quiet time in the studio, too. It is my favorite part of the day. :)
