The movement of the seasons and of our lives and own inner emotional seasons.

This contemporary portrait painting combines many layers of acrylic, spray paint, collage and oil paint, in Toni's technique that has evolved over many years. She emphasises clarity in the eyes and parts of the face to merge with yet contrast the abstracted areas.

The process of combining collaged and written text is intuitive, words and lines are layered on without 'trying' to make a message. Words are covered or reveal themselves during the process of making. Toni felt the right title for this piece was Transition, the feeling of the light and form feels as if there is a movement through time or seasons. She then noticed one of the words coming through the paint was, in fact, 'transition'.
