Lunar Eclipse

oil pastel on khadi paper

10 x 15cm

SUNBEDS teetering on stone; indents of a could-be prehistoric spine in the rock, or pressed fingerprints, carved out for contemplation.

Storms are due but for now there’s sun, cloud too, and waves lapping on the rocks below. A far off sail. We wear bold colours via our swimsuits, embracing the strength of our bodies a decade into motherhood, embracing the space and quiet and ability to read and create. Awaiting the lunar eclipse.

Plants emerging from hard ground; succulents, green and woody reaching for salty air. Light and breath we search for.

Palette: Ultramarine, pale lichen, luminous ochre, metal, rust, pink stone, slate, washed linen, cerulean. Peach, real peach. White from ricotta and honey like linseed oil.
