First the emotional connection to the landscape, then the photo, followed by the pencil or watercolour sketch, finally a small oil sketch that may or may not become a large painting.

The last two paintings well arranged And it is Excellent.
Thanks Holly. I love to see examples of artist's process from start to finish. I love the vertical formats and central flow through each one.
Interesting you start off with an "emotional connection".
Probably best way to engage yourself in your art.
I seem to do better in my writing when I really am interested in what I am writing about ... let myself produce, and not worry too much about technique etc. until afterward. It may not be so easy to do that with paint true - easy to just excise a sentence and recreate.
My best writing has often has come very quickly.
And you hear that quite a bit from other artists in all artistic mediums: music, writing, etc.
So the unconscious, that creative unseen portions of ourselves can be very powerful and convincing once tapped into.
I think an emotional connection is a great starting point - (and end point?)
Lovely to see your process, thanks.
Beautiful work... your creations are stunning
Love and light
