I love Monet, Pollock,<\/p>\n<p>Martisse<\/p>\n<p>, Kandinsky. I love all of those.\u00a0I\u2019ve always been drawn back to texture painting.\u201d\u00a0Rachel regarded impressionism and cubism as the source of inspirations she drew on. As a consequence, her paintings epitomized abstractness, emotionality, and a touch of ethereality.<\/p>\n<p>However, speaking of her present unique style, it is not just these traits of the artistic genres that make her works stand out. A friend\u2019s suggestion also played a pivotal\u00a0part\u00a0in the process of the formation of her unique style of artistic creation, acting as a beacon lighting up her advance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast summer my friend asked me to do a meadow painting, and I agreed and I just fell in love with it, and I thought I do this for living. I really wanted to do meadows.\u201d\u00a0Rachel shared the precious eureka moment of her art life with her face\u00a0beaming with delight, looking at her works leaning to the walls with satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis painting has many layers, including the background,the meadow, the stems, the flowers, and the iridescent dots on the surface brightening up the whole work, so they are actually more complicated than it looks,\u201d\u00a0Rachel pointed at one peace of her works,\u201c\u00a0every piece is unique, as you can see, the flowers, the backgrounds, the atmosphere are all different from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19266\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19266\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-19266 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2.jpg 625w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-500x377.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19266 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2.jpg 625w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-500x377.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSC00046_meitu_2-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/noscript> Rachel being in the process of her art creation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nonetheless, when it comes to income, being an artist is always considered to be a great challenge. It is never a way to make a fortune, especially when the expenses on paints, canvases, brushes and the time spent on working and social media for self-promotion are taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these difficulties, Rachel deems\u00a0she can\u00a0manage the operation of her industry well,\u201c\u00a0Because I specialize in this style of paintings, people who want abstract flowers come to me directly with a list of things for commission, which is usually like what I do anyway. I have got two regular customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en-gb\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Such a lush day, most important day for me so far in my art adventure, thank you <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/galleryllanelli\">@galleryllanelli<\/a> for displaying my work for sale ?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SgMlSMMa8o\">pic.twitter.com\/SgMlSMMa8o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Artist Rachel Trott (@Artistrachtrott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Artistrachtrott\/status\/784476119336644608\">7 October 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nevertheless, as is widely acknowledged, it has been a baffling knotty problem for perseverant and original artists to guarantee the balance between artistic creation and life. As for Rachel, the situation seems to be even harsher, as she has three kids with the eldest child being 8 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI work in evenings to balance looking after the children and in daytime. \u201d\u00a0Moreover, the love for kids is also reflected in her plan for her industry. \u201cI am gonna do art workshops for children, especially\u00a0disabled children. So they will come here and I will teach them either meadow art or a certain type of technique.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Against this back drop of fast-paced living, being an artist has becoming increasingly difficult, as the gap between the aspirations and the reality is expanding. According to the hardship young artists are facing with, Rachel commented, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be determined, to paint till you are tired, because you just have to keep going. For everything, you have to be 100 percent into it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes I\u2019m sitting here, putting paints together, and I\u2019m so tired. However, I love it, as this is sort of a psychological therapy to me. You have to bridge the gap on your own, as no one will do that for you.\u201d Additionally, Rachel shared the words she lived by, \u201cThere\u2019s no such word called can\u2019t\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Talking of\u00a0the prospect, Rachel said with a yearning tone, \u201cActually I have a ten-year plan. In the next few years, I want to get well-known in Wales. As for the ten-year plan, I want to build an orangery, which is like an extension on the house to get more daylight in to paint, goes out and has a large glass roof.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although he orangery she depicted made a sharp contrast to the makeshift studio suffused with shadows, surrounded by her art works in a tiny room, Rachel never restraints herself in the current situation, always pursuing her dreams with perseverance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19268\" style=\"width: 628px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-19268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1.jpg\" alt=\"dscn0531_meitu_1\" width=\"628\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1.jpg 628w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1.jpg\" alt=\"dscn0531_meitu_1\" width=\"628\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1.jpg 628w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/DSCN0531_meitu_1-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/noscript> The make-shift gallery of her floral meadows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A famous saying by Frida Kahlo, a world-renowned female painter, offers a vivid depiction of\u00a0Rachel\u2019s meadow flowers.\u201cI paint flowers so they will never die\u201d.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-19264-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/20161203182429_14.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/20161203182429_14.mp4\">https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/12\/20161203182429_14.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some unusually enchanting floral meadow paintings caught people&#8217;s eyes on Dec 2nd in Penarth.
