Why I Named My Painting There Is Always Hope

Blog post written by Charlie Albright

With thoughts of doubt of bright and bold colours, I decided to try my hand at an earthy colour palette. Something that could coordinate easily with a living area or lounge setting. As I painted and harboured cloudy thoughts of whether bright and bold colours should stay or go, I still wanted to convince myself that there was hope. I wanted to reassure myself that yep, There Is Always Hope.

If you follow my Instagram Stories, you may remember when I started painting several canvasses with these colours. I didn’t mention it at the time but I was going through a period of doubt.

I wondered if my bright and bold colours of blues, greens and magenta were accessible to people. Hence why these pieces starting appearing.

So with thoughts of doubt of bright and bold colours, I decided to try my hand at an earthy colour palette. Something that could coordinate easily with a living area or lounge setting.

As I painted and harboured cloudy thoughts of whether bright and bold colours should stay or go, I still wanted to convince myself that there was hope. I wanted to reassure myself that yep, There Is Always Hope.

I can also be very stubborn. So even if there wasn’t hope, I would have made sure I created it anyway.

By the way, bright and bold colours are staying. They will always be my signature colour palette.

Can you spot my favourite brand of acrylic paints? And how particular I am about my titanium white?

J. Burrows Flat Taklon Brushes (I absolutely love these brushes from Officeworks. Sounds crazy right? Buy them individually rather than in the sets – I swear there’s a difference.)

The world: ignites in me, a sense of curiosity. My mind does not settle until it can comprehend, until it understands. For the physical world, creation has always been my enduring method of choice. For the spiritual world, all-encompassing practices like yoga and meditation, a belief in a higher energy, and writing have always been the soothing and balancing tools I have returned to, to re-ground myself. This is my journey of self-expression. Through written words and different forms of art. To my soul, my inner essence.
