2016 Brushed with colours of blue – Solo Exhibition

"This is my 6th solo exhibition at Gallery 126. Thank you Anne and Stuart for your continual support of this time.

Brushed - because for this exhibition I have, for the first time, used only the brush. This has given a more direct and spontaneous feel to the paintings. A very different approach from my usual scraping back and "drawing into" method. I have used acrylic paint on canvas. As my greatest enemy is overworking, by using a large brush only, this forces me to eliminate detail. In this exhibition I am looking at creating atmosphere and mood.

With colours of blue - I felt this year the blue undertones of the landscape have been more dominant, especially mid winter. Winter is an exciting time to paint the New England landscape, as all the frills are stripped and you can truely see the formations and beauty of the land.

Most of this exhibition has been created from outings around the beautiful New England district with fellow artist and friend Rosalie Rigby."
