There is always room for a bit of creative play. Where you can just put colors down without having an agenda, and then going with what you see. I have been trying to do that every day depending on my location, and I do have a travel kit that serves me well outside the studio.
Making my gelli plate was one of the best things I've made so far, and it provides a quick and easy method of placing color in a random way - you can see how I use it HERE. This is one of a selection of paintings that I have done.
This is how it began, after I had laid down some color on the plate, I continued with some stamps and also added some doilies that had been painted
I started sketching a vague image using charcoal
Then she started to take on a life of her own,

| I love using color |
Remembering that it is just about play I continued to add color and she continued to emerge out of the paper.

| Working in the studio |
Once I had finished my play, she was ready to stand on her own two feet, I might leave it at that, use it for another piece of work, we'll see.

For now she will continue to shine her light. and inspire and I will continue to play.
