My newest finished painting for @start.art.global

My newest finished painting for @start.art.global in The Saatchi Gallery @saatchi_gallery. It's from my exploration into 2 sided paintings and can be hung in both directions.

I have to say it's my favourite painting that I've done so far in this body of work. It was a bit of a battle to get it to this point but once I let go and started experimenting it really flowed. The colours and the shapes make me happy to look at it and I want to keep it which is my sign that I've done exactly what I should have. 💖

Here's day 60 of The STOP PAINTING Project "Leonor Fini" in her newest form.
I had to work quite a lot on it today to get something I wanted. I have to admit at one point I was ready to give up! 🤦🏻‍♀️ But being ready to give up and let go of trying to make it work gave me the permission to just start painting the big blocks of colour. And then as if by magic the painting developed to completion quickly after that. I guess there's a life lesson in there somewhere! 😂

I'm still developing my larger 2 sided landscapes

I'm still developing my larger 2 sided landscapes to exhibit in @saatchi_gallery at @start.art.global this year. I feel this piece is almost finished.

When I lived in Halong Bay in Vietnam my apartment block had a pool that looked out on the magical looking islands that this area is known for. The pool was always a bit shaded and cold but it was welcomed in the sweltering heat. A little up the road from where I lived lit up at night with neon lights and the amusement park, which was just off the beach, always felt like a holiday town. I tell you this because when I started to paint this piece I did not have these images in my mind, I had no subject intention but as the painting developed I could see both these images on either side of this painting, with lots of details from the area. I think it's so interesting how sometimes memories that we don't think are important have made a strong impression on our subconscious.

I would like to say how grateful I am to everyone who has supported my artwork in anyway this year. Certainly a different year for everyone but creatively I feel I've learned a lot and seen my work develop faster this year than any other. Here's to a creative, inspiring, healthy 2021! 🥂

I'm delighted to announce I have been awarded Artist Support Scheme funding from @fingalcountycouncil and @fingalartsoffice towards the development of my collection of work that I've been building for START @saatchi_gallery next year. Thank you! 🙏

Working on this collection this year has led me to my new area of exploration of my two-sided landscape paintings.

This piece that (for now) I'm calling "Pink Sky, Pink Lake" can be hung in both directions.

And the work on the 4 big canvases continues. I'm starting to establish where they are going and what they could become. 2 are going good and 2 are in limbo. Probably the 2 in limbo will end up the best because I'll paint less carefully on them, they'll get the left over paint slapped on at the end of the day, which usually results in a better painting. 😂 So far I have one scene inspired by Cavan, one by Sligo and on by Vietnam. The last one is still deciding. ❓

I'm working on developing them into dual sided landscapes so they can be hung in both directions for different scenes.

Update: SOLD

This is another new piece from my "6x8 Collection" called "Tree Boats". It's part of my current exploration of dual landscape paintings so they can be hung in 2 ways. I love the idea that you can change your painting depending on your mood and that it can be done with one painting. 🖼️

"Tree Boats" is available for €95 including worldwide delivery. It comes ready to hang on a beautiful wood panel with exposed wooden sides. Shop on my website www.michellehartonart.com or private message me.

My first time to work on 4 big canvases at the same time! Definitely the way I would like to work from now on until I get to the more detailed stages. It's nice to jump from one to the other especially when the paint needs to dry. The pastel pink one on the left is my favourite so far but that can all change in a brush stroke! 🖌️

Last night I released 5 paintings from my new "6x8 Collection". I've been very creative with the title obviously as they are all 6x8" 😂. They are painted on beautiful wooden panels.

The first painting I'd like to show you which you might have had a peek of before is "Midnight Dive". I haven't created such a dark piece in a while but I love how the subtle colour that's in it really glows.

All the new work is available to purchase on my website or you can message me if you'd like something held for you.

Each piece costs €95 including worldwide delivery. Please order before Monday to guarantee delivery in time for Christmas due to An Posts new announcement.
