Sofan's paintings of fish, flowers and water

I have always loved painting flowers. Their bright and happy colours, and an endless series of interesting forms are a continual inspiration. My flowers are usually painted from life. I like to catch that special living essence that makes every flower unique.

Even working late at night in my studio, sometimes I close my eyes and imagine I am in my flowering garden on a warm spring day after rain. In my mind I am surrounded by colours and fragrances. Then I paint this feeling.

Water is forever changing. It's fascinating to watch the way light ripples across the surface of a lily pond at sunset. Or the contrast created by the movement of brightly colour ed fishes in a lily pond. It's a wondrous moment of life.

May your life be filled with love and happiness.

Tranquil Waters
Soft fluid motion
draws us to our centre,
moving through life's waters.

 Whispering to the Fish
A soft voice calls to you gently
about new possibilities
and coming change.

Dancing in the Vortex
Come dance in the playful energising swirl of watery movement.
