Inspired by the Roadside signs-
This painting was inspired by the things we see when driving through country towns — the roadside flower stalls, hand-painted signs advertising roses for sale, fresh mangoes, fruit ahead, and the simple invitation to stop and pull over.
I’ve always been drawn to the charm and character of these signs. Their imperfect lettering, bold colours, messy brushstrokes and wonderfully honest approach to getting a message across.
There is something so fearless and beautiful about the way people paint them — without overthinking, without worrying about perfection, just putting paint to board and sharing what they have to offer.
These everyday roadside scenes are full of personality, warmth and a kind of creativity that deserves to be celebrated.
This painting is my little tribute to the most successful solo exhibition I had with Jumbled called "flowers for sale" and the charm of country roads, roadside stalls and the beautiful, unpolished art of the hand-painted signs.
This painting is a reminder to be wildly fierce with creativity and that perfection is overrated.
