My process & keeping it exciting
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and having a fantastic week. I have been very busy this week in studio with a few acrylic paintings, and even some linocut experimentation. I have had such a blast working on these pieces, some of which are still in progress.

Why work on so many pieces at once you may ask? I find that working on multiple artworks at once helps me keep my process interesting and exciting. I don't know about you, but when I work on one piece at a time I find that it creates unnecessary pressure on the creation of that specific piece. We almost become too precious about the artwork. Would you agree? By working on multiple artworks at the same time, I find that I take more creative risks and try new approaches more easily.
While working on this acrylic painting of Dublin city this week, I noticed that I was maybe too cautious at times with the work so I started a smaller acrylic painting on the side (see below). This smaller painting had a much looser painterly style and helped me loosen up a bit in the larger painting as well.
