The Joy of Puddles

The Joy of Puddles!
Oil on Canvas, 61 x 51cm.

What is it about puddles and there magnetic effect for children?

My children will be happily walking and as soon as they see a puddle there’s a telltale change in their footsteps, and they speed up ready for that little bounce and splash.

At first I want to shout ‘no stop’ as I visualise piles of washing, moaning for the remainder of the walk about wet and cold feet but then I bite my tongue and watch that little moment of joy in their faces when they step into that magical portal and jump to create a massive splash! 

Such a simple thing but I love watching the joy in their faces .. and just thank myself some days for at least making them wear wellies!

Artist Statement "My work draws inspiration from the semi abstract nature of landscape and interpreting a 'sense of place', incorporating the sounds, smells and atmosphere of the place or subject . My work is drawn from my own memory to create works that are abstracted and expressional. I am particularly interested in light of nature and weather its impact and transformation on the appearance of the landscape."
