Long Days & Ambre Solaire
Ambre Solaire wafting in the air, ice cream melting down my arm in the summer sunshine, eagerly awaiting more time to frolic on the beaches. I am always amazed how an image or a smell can reveal a buried memory, in this painting I have focused on the sensations of cold melting ice cream coupled with the evocative aroma of Ambre Solaire worn by my mother - a warm enveloping scent that pervades to this day.
Long days, seemingly endless, huge soft skies offering a gentle embrace at the end of the day.
