Mother Protects- the concept

'Mother Protects' is a collage created on canvas (30 x50cm) using acrylic paint, 3D gold and blue glitter paint, various shades of orange stone beads. This painting is part of a series of which you will view in the later future. The image portrays two women. One of which is standing with her hands gently placed on her two children's shoulders, and the other of a Mother-to-be who will begin her mother instincts of protection from this early stage. This idea came about from a conversation with a 'soul sister' on what our 'true' commitments are as women on this earth. I hope the painting stirs the mind of all who views it. So, Breath and Exhale..... with Blessings, Kulturess.

April- Influences of Carnival

Towards the end of March and early April I find myself drawn to Trinidad and even more so as Carnival in Trinidad has come to an end. Years ago I was blessed to have the opportunity to take part, and take part I DID! I saw everything from the preparations of the costumes in the mass camps, to the fetes from sun down to sunrise, JOUVERT! (oil and glitter!!) all with a bottle or two of 'water' to keep me going. My paintings this month are influenced by the costumes, people, colour, texture and the details of what I observed with my artistic eye. It is a concept I will be returning to later in the year as my sketch book is FULL of more concepts in this area. So for the moment here is a taster! .... So, just breath and exhale this experience with me. Please don't forget to join my blog so you can continue to follow my progress. Much Love and Blessings, Kulturess XXX
