Light Heart ~ New painting by Aoife Joyce Art

This painting I began with just the girls body, I wasn’t sure where to go with it, but as I continued painting her I decided to use some glass beads, which are probably not visible in the photo. These gave a really nice effect , quite sparkly used with the white paint. I was thinking about my Dad alot that day, he passed away just a few weeks ago, and I had life after death and where the soul goes to, on my mind a fair bit. I think that is how I ended up making the background seem cloudy and light. I added the few little hearts to show love, to my Dad and to whom ever feels love when they look at it…I hope you like it.

I took the idea for this painting from a photo. It turned out quite different from the photo, which tends to be the case normally, as once I start something, it generally goes in a different direction than I had originally planned or thought it would. I like working with black, white and greys, they seem to bring depth about easier than with colours. I thought the blue would allow her to stand out more so, I hope it has worked.
