Thank you, Marc. I also believe that what I tend to draw or paint is a manifestation of my thoughts and influences on something that I would have noticed in other art or in real life. Funny you point it out as this is something that I have been thinking and noticing more. May I take the liberty of sharing one of my favourite poems that I revisit when the woods are dark, it always fills me with energy. https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/beannacht-blessing/
You ask what we see in your abstract artwork… perhaps it’s just a visual “ear worm” from your earlier words, but I see your own version of Bruegel’s “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” (I don’t mean to say you were inspired by his painting, rather that you shared the same inspiration). Also, thank-you for this essay… my heart is refusing to hold its thoughts at the moment, the failures have me deep in the hole, but I am glad I saved it to read later as it takes the edge off the full-dark.

I loved reading this. Thank you, Irene 🤍 You have inspired me to start painting again and letting go of perfection.
