6pm in Provence
Original '6pm In Provence' painting
Day seven from my Daily Healing series, this painting looks through a small window to a calming memory of arriving at a BnB after a day of driving through France in the middle of summer. It was tucked away in the Provence countryside. The smell of lavender soap filled the room that I entered, the slatted blinds were pulled down to prevent the room from feeling too warm. The pure white cotton bed sheets were painted with sunset-coloured stripes.
The style of the minimalist abstract painting is inspired by Agnes Martin, whose evenly spaced lines evoke a sense of calm and order. I hope that you, too, can feel the sense of serenity imbued in this work.

About Daily Healing
My art has always been a reflection of my travels and experiences. But, this latest series is reflective of an entirely new journey. As I navigate health treatments, these paintings have become a healing exercise, a moment of calm in my day when I can visualise and paint memories from my past travels. When I'm not feeling so good, I revisit this fresh, duney beach in Sweden, or relive the pitter-patter of a rainy night in Soho.
