Cheryl Petersen "Majestic Macaw"

183 x 122 cm Acrylics and Gold leaf on canvas. Mostly I paint to my moods, it is the foundation for my inspiration. My best work seems to happen naturally when I am absorbed totally into the moment. I try not to control my work too much and prefer to keep the spontaneity flowing. I feel its important to be a good artist technically, but its just as important to create freely and originally from the heart”
