Zen & Thoughts

"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's difficult to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear." 
This abstract reflects on how it's possible to have more ease in life when we cultivate a calm mind.
This is Claires' largest abstract to date, here she uses a more subtle paired back palette than you might be used to seeing with her work. Although she is still using energetic marks and brush strokes, it has a more peaceful feel. The journey to up-scaling her abstracts has been a long one with her working on paper and small canvases for a year before feeling ready to tackle a larger format. 
Mixed media with inks, charcoal, acrylics and oils.  The canvas Measures 100cm x 80cm. The frame is included and measures 108cm x 88cm.
