Painting based on a Fibonacci and the Spiral project

Fibonacci was found by Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa who discovered the sequence of numbers; 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34.....etc. The next number of the sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers. And it goes on forever and in this sequence these numbers are found in everyday life all around us and in nature. For example the numbers of petals on a flower, measurments for buildings and architecture, proportions in the human body and musical instruments and so many more.The spiral is also found in everything around us in nature which is found in flowers, in the milky way, its used in paintings and other images and objects in life which helps to get proportions and compositions correct.





Below i produced this painting based on some of the above using shells and the milky way at the top reepresenting the spiral and flowers with the number of petals found in the sequence. I am very pleased with this painting because to me it turned out to look a bit surreal like a dream and also looks like underwater life, and I absolutley adore underwater life and also surrealism in paintings i think its amazing to see dreams and unusual things being brought out someones mind.



Willem de Kooning inspired painting

Lightly painted spontaneous brush strokes to look soft and blend well with each colour. This painting was made to look flowly and light so each colour is seen through another to show a warm and happy emotion, like the feeling of a warm hug, when your together as one which i tried to show with the style of this painting. Its like the feeling you get when you see the one you love which also inspired me to paint this, think i might give it my Fiance as a valentines day present. This painting also reminds me of the wind, that sort of warm wind that blows on you on a beautiful sunny day or when your near the sea.

"I don't say everything, but I paint everything."

I feel that Art gives me the ability to express what I feel or what I see in both life and in the dream world, to me this is a wonderful ability I can and will always take part in to create what I feel from deep in my mind or heart expressing my emotion and thought and especially for Artists it makes us feel alive to express what we want. And I feel this when I create a successful piece of work.  I believe Art expresses many emotions and thoughts which come from deep in our soul, it also has a strong ability to stun and shock some of us which is hugely inspiring to me as I am influenced by art work which creates this affect. Art means so much to me I have always been interested in Art from a very young age from about 5 years old, I was always drawing or painting or doing it on the walls round the house.
