‘Farewell Summer’

Written By Emily Burt

A little series of contemporary abstract landscape and botanical paintings celebrating my daughter’s first day of school. Here are some snaps I took earlier, prioritising just doing rather than perfection. A mixture of excitement and change, like the changing seasons, and wondering what’s ahead.

They’re going to hang out on my wall for a while, but do drop me a message if you have a space for them on your wall, too.
