Every year I ask my mum what she wants for christmas and every year she tells me to do her a painting. I love her very much but this is honestly quite exhausting; her taste is not my taste, and it is hard to get inspired. I have given in a few times, and I gave in again this year .
This is a painting inspired a little bit by Bouguereau’s ‘returning from the fields’ and a little by JSS’s ‘carnation lily, lily rose’; then a bunch of her favourite stuff mashed together with lots of colour and cold light.
My psychosis has been pretty bad for the last few weeks, so I was dreading doing this piece. I put it off and off and off, but finally relented halfway in to December. Painting helps me with a lot of my symptoms but painting under pressure (for a deadline or a gift) generally does the exact opposite. That being said I did enjoy this painting, I think because there are so many gratuitous elements I could get myself lost in while I went. A lot of the mental mirage like haze comes across in the final thing, I think. I had a lot of fun with the colours, and figuring out plants for the first time was an interesting challenge. I’m actually happy with it, which is astonishing as I usually yeet these seasonal mother-tithes into the abyss as soon as I’m done with them.
It’s a really nice feeling to finish a painting and think with certainty, yes, actually, this one will be going on the blog.
