Asymmetric imperfect

Asymmetric imperfect, acrylic on canvas, Lesley Beeton, 2012

This colourful abstract painting in acrylic represents the asymmetry of womens’ bodies. And the imperfections we all have.

The abstract nude in bold colours shows the artist has a confident approach to both colour and form. And this is reflected in her own choices, and endomorph body shape.

The round repeated themes represent the wholeness of women, whilst the flower motifs represents the biological function of women.

The gold dots represent the eggs stored in our bodies, waiting for that perfect moment of conception.

#One Week - Winter '13

I'm playing along with Older Mum (In A Muddle) on this photography Linky. Post a photo during #One Week until 1 March and link up.

My photo was taken on our winter break to sunny Malta last week. These delightful glass baubles were hanging on a Christmas tree in the Medina Glass shop. It caught the light beautifully and looking at the photo today, it has certainly brightened up a grey Surrey day.

Family portraits

These pictures are for Julie at Anglers Rest, who has inspired us to dig out the photos from the bottom of the trunk. Hope you enjoy these beautiful characters.





These photographs were prepared by my Dad who discovered them in a trunk of photos bequeathed to us when an elderly relative died.

Julie is hosting the February Photo Collage Festival. #fpcf13

Home


This post is part 4 of the February Photo Collage Festival. #fpcf13

Home is where the heart is. Where you can be who you are. With someone you love.

Snowy sunrise over my garden, one of my precious bird boxes, our favourite dog walking place,
Mr B stacking the log pile - one of his favourite things, the delightful hennie-pennies,
wonderful garden planning, floral photography is my thing

Thanks Julie at Anglers Rest for hosting this fab photo collage festival.
