Soulcircle by Lynda Howitt

Lynda Howitt ‘Dawn’ Original Adorned with Seashells

Oil on Canvas, sea salt, seashells

122cm x 122cm

Unframed

This is a work from my new Seashell Soulcircle series, oil on canvas abstract paintings, with seasalt and some adorned with seashells that I have foraged off the beach in front of my studio, Geraldton, Western Australia. I love the idea that there's a sense of literally embodying the sea in my art with their inclusion. The seashells offer a healing essence and remind us that every passing life leaves something beautiful behind. Created within transcendent circles, a sacred symbol of life and soul, my ‘Soulcircles’ offer a path inwards. Each work evolves from an intuitive free flow, I’m deeply inspired by the sea and believe in its ability to soothe our soul and transform our lives. I don't plan my painting, it's all about just going with the flow. Sometimes, though, it's amazing what symbols, colours and shapes appear within the soul circle all by themselves and offer some fascinating insights.

For this one, the soft touch of pink and peach of the sky before the sunrise reflecting in the silver baby blue waves of the sea are grounded in the beauty of nature. Symbolising the illumination of hope and happiness in the new day, a birth of awakening.
