Rochester Art Fair

During this year Ann has been exploring the use of Mixed Media and Abstract painting.  The initial results of this work are on display in this exhibition which shows the influence of her visit to the Loire Valley in the springtime.  Ann’s process includes going out sketching in the landscape, bringing back her work to collage into her sketchbook. This forms a source of inspiration for larger paintings.

Summer of Painting 2

I have spent two weeks in Cornwall this summer, one in St Ives in May and the second in Marazion in July; the weather was different the first being hot and sunny and the second cooler with a westerly breeze. Importantly I have done sketching and painting and lots of photos and inspiration for my summer of painting.

I have a plein air painting from the Island in St Ives and another painting from some sketches on the beach.

Porthmeor Beach from the Island, Summer Day 20″x20″ oil on canvas
Blustery Day on a Cornish Beach 20″x20″ oil on canvas

I am currently working on another beach painting, hoping to capture the light on the wet sand. My stay in Marazion led to some great views of the Tin Mines at Botallick and some sea views from Marazion with St Michael’s Mount and some rain clouds blowing in over the point to the west. I have become interested in the patterns in the rock formations and hope to produce a series which uses these patterns.
