Choosing a Painting
If you would like to buy one of my paintings or a print these suggestions may help when making your choice. Please note that on-line ordering is not currently available. To order something please contact us for a friendly, straight forward, and efficient service.
For specific meditation or to accompany you on your healing path.
Bring to mind what you want to achieve, for example; 'relaxation'. Hold the thought as if you are actually achieving it for a moment or two before having a browse and see what, if any, you are drawn to. If there's nothing that feels right please do give us a ring as there may be something suitable which isn't on display on the website, or something that can be created especially for you.
For colour therapy.
Is there something in particular you want to use the colour therapy for or just general use? Perhaps a colour therapist has recommended certain colours may help you, or you may feel drawn to certain colours or a colour palette. Think about this (the colours and shades or the reason you want it), for a moment and then have a browse and see what you are drawn to.
I find with colour healing and so on that this selection process works best when you go with what you are drawn to initially rather than thinking about it too much. i.e. if you intuitively like the painting with pinks and mauves don't discount it as the wrong choice because it might not fit in with your décor!
Of course, if you want a painting to brighten a wall / or send as a general greeting card just have a look and see what takes your fancy!
Mandalas
The Sanskrit word 'mandala' roughly translates as 'circle' and Mandala art is often in the form of a geometrical pattern (anything from very simple to immensely complex) within a circle, sometimes also encompassed by a square. The circle can have wider meaning and may also be taken to mean sacred circle. This could include our circle of friends and family, or the wider circle of our local or global community or the earth, the sun and moon, or even the universe.
A mandala can represent all of these things and within it elements of ourselves. Geometric patterns can be mesmerising and are often used as a meditative aid. Mandala art however, is not necessarily geometric in design. The images can be pictorial or symbolic sometimes appearing to be abstract but can and often do look like a decorative picture! This type of mandala can be useful as a reminder of goals such as life achievements, personal attributes such as patience, quality of life and so on. They can also act as a reminder of what we are achieving on a daily basis such as a connectedness with nature, our spiritual growth or reaching out to our community, for example.
Commissions
If you don't see exactly what you want or need please do get in touch as I am happy to create something just for you. This can work in two ways; either we may have a chat to find out what you need it for and I will work intuitively to produce something for you. Alternatively if you want specific colours or a particular subject this may also be possible.
Also, I can create a 'memoir collage' for you of a holiday, your wedding, birthday celebrations ... These can be made from photos, painting, tickets, stones and seashells etc.
