PAINTINGS - NATURAL FORMS BASED ON GEOMETRY & PATTERNS
 |
This is a painting of combined forms from holly, thistle and pepper. Then using a complex layering technique I have added butterflies over the original image.

This is an image of butterfly surrounded by smaller versions of the same butterfly which is meant to be hinting at - nature is made from recurring patterns on all scales.

Here you can see red patterns underneath the main image. These red patterns are of the blue flower but influenced by celtic patterns. Again with the idea that the smaller patterns are the building blocks of the larger image. |

This is a development of the technique used in the two pictures above. The main 'swan' like image (isn't in fact a swan but based on a skeletal development of a flower) fills the board and is on the bottom layer. Then there are two layers of the top of repetition of the smaller versions of the main images. One layer is in colour and the top layer in black and white. Again this is meant to be revealing the microscopic layers making the larger structure. |

This is an image based upon a chrysanthemum combined with the central seed pod which was based upon the form and shape found in a Monkey Flower. The surrounding 'spider' pattern is smaller images of the large central flower. |

This is flower that I have combined with a pepper and stamens to my own pattern. I then photographed and scanned in the flower to create a fractal pattern of the image which I then drew back ontop of the original flower. |

This image is based upon a Magnolia flower. The patterns that can be seen underneneath the main image are circular patterns based upon Magnolia buds. Therefore the bud of the Magnolia creates and forms the flower of a Magnolia. |
