Flora Bowley's e-course

As some of you may recall, I mentioned late last year that I had enrolled in Flora Bowley's e-course.   Our life then went a bit 'high needs' and stressful and I never shared my journey with you.  Flora teaches intuitive painting and her course is very accessible to EVERYONE and is really quite amazing.  This style of painting is unlike anything I've ever done but I have found it is quite a joyous process.  Lots of letting go, playing and being brave.
 Here are three canvases at various stages of completion.  The canvas on the easel at left is finished and the two at right are ready for the final layers and the 'bringing together' of all that chaos!  I worked on the canvas pictured here on the floor to produce the final piece pictured below.

Once it is strung, on the wall and not a cloudy day I'll replace this with a better photograph.  I struggle to let go and trust a bit as I go through Flora's process of making these. It's just such a HUGE shift from my usual style of painting.  Here are some other examples of intuitive paintings I played with after reading Flora's book but before doing her course.  I think these are in fact my favourites.
