Full Moon in Aquarius
Who knows how long we have left to do the things we love?! Yes, the world is on fire and yes, our creativity and imagination are essential skills!!
This is just one of the many reasons that this 2026, after the 39 years before, I have made a point of prioritising my favourite universe given talent… painting paintings.
This website was published today, especially for you to find them! Welcome, welcome, I’m so happy you are here.
Maybe I will share here regularly; behind the scenes from my Berlin studio, oil paintings in progress, lessons on building a business and finding your way back to making art. Let’s see how it unfolds.
For now, I have been working on this piece leading up to the full moon in Aquarius. It is the third 80×100cm canvas in the collection I am working on during my residency at Burnt Sienna Berlin.
Work In Progress - Underpainting
I started conjuring ideas for a painting collection around Winter Solstice 2025 so now I’m taking great pleasure in seeing them come to life on a larger canvas. I say pleasure but it’s more of a nervous excitement, pacing the room while adding paint here and there.
Want to get into on your own creative practice but not sure how? Here are three steps that help me:
Make it bad first
Make another one but ditch what didn’t work and keep what did
Make another one, add a new element, ditch what didn’t work and keep what did
Do it again
Let’s try that again but this time good - David Lynch
Until the next time!! Effy
