I came across this photo of a painting of mine from 2009. I called it "Adore" and looking at it now in 2013, it still inspires me. I can remember painting all the layers of paint and working through from dark to light. The gold leaf heart I applied by hand at the very end. My inspiration for this painting was of a loving angel or mother, with many hands ( us mums can never have too many! ) I hope you'll be inspired by this image too...
