Inspired by a Cotswold Walk

Uncategorized

  
The Cotswolds are one of the most beautiful parts of the British Isles. Lying just south of the Midlands, the rolling countryside and honey stone walls of the buildings provide plenty of inspiration for an artist. 

Last year I had the good fortune to be able to go and stay with my family in a little cottage in Chipping Camden and we had some beautiful walks even though the weather was quite stormy.

In the piece above you can see the dark lowering clouds against bright green fields. This is a mixed media piece using gesso, acrylic ink, watercolour, stitch, lace and more. 

Today I sold it to a loving home and I’m very happy. 

Exhibition coming up.

Sketching and recording

Uncategorized

Sketching at Weston Park, Shropshire in preparation for an exhibition celebrating 300 years since Capability Brown.

This is part of the lake in his Pleasure Grounds. Luckily no public as its closed at this time of year so it was very peaceful.

The colours today were indescribable. Just trying to drink them in.






  
Months of inspiration here!

Celebrating Contrast

Uncategorized

It’s the downs that make the ups so good in life,  austerity that makes a splurge such fun in the shops and shared tears and joy that build deep friendships. The Autumn low light slanting through the trees and acid green leaves of Spring against a lowering purple sky. This is what really makes my heart sing.

I celebrate contrast with paint on canvas for it is that which makes the world sparkle to me. 

  
This 12″ X 12″ painting is available to purchase.
