What inspired me?
A piece of Mosaic Jasper (pictured).
A palm-sized piece of mosaic jasper at a Rock and Gem Show almost had me breaking into a happy dance. Almost. I'm an introvert. Soft, muted colours, interlocking curves, lines of sparkles.... what's not to love?
I bought it instead, so I could always enjoy it... and happy dance in private.
I've concentrated on the curved shapes, and kept the brushstrokes short to give a mosaic-like appearance. The grey colour looks lovely in reality, but didn't work on the painting. Instead I've used cool blues and greens, which work well against the warmer pinks and ochres.
