Under the same Sun (No.1)

This piece is part of a series of 4 works each initially the same but by alternating the negative and positive space through watercolour and thread work, resulting in the final pieces becoming different.
 
The pieces are part of my newest collection titled ‘Within the Trees’.
This new body of work is inspired by my local walks with my dog, Rolo, while lulling my baby boy off to sleep.
Since becoming a mother, these daily walks have been my lifeline, getting out of the house and breathing in some fresh air. I found inspiration through the beauty which we encounter every day, but maybe aren’t always aware it is there. The birds chirping away, the leaves rustling in the trees and the first glimmer of spring after a long winter. Nature is beautiful, and we don’t have to travel far to enjoy it. It surrounds us every day, if we just take a moment to look for it.  
 
For these works I have tried to capture the different shades of green when you catch the sunshine breaking through the leaves.
 
The title links to the idea for the work, while they are different they are very much the same, created using the same lines, shapes and materials.
