These are so beautiful, Vivien. I am so glad that you are a person to seize the moment so that we can share in this beauty. They form their own paintings like that "ice on the undergrowth." Thank you for these.
I'm interested in painting the light and colours of landscapes as they change through seasons, the time of day or weather.
Seascapes feature strongly in my work as I love the coast, a love which developed when I lived near the sea as a child in Cornwall, Scotland, Malta and Gibraltar - each place with its special light and colour.
I realise too that I love the edges of things - for instance the coast, where the sea meets the land, the edges of woods where the trees meet the open fields.
I paint in most media and experiment with digital imagery - as a creative process related to my painting but also creating work that exists in its own right.
Another interest is photography, mainly as something in its own right, as I only rarely paint from photographs. The same elements interest me here as in my painting.
Apart from painting and photography, I teach art to adults and have all the normal preoccupations, trials and tribulations of women with families ... and cats.

I love your photographs and your artwork. They are absolutely beautiful. May I ask what kind of camera you used?
ReplyDeleteThanks Brianne :>)
ReplyDeleteIt's a Fuji Finepix 9500
It's got a great zoom lens 928-300mm equivalent) and can take pictures as close as 1cm from the subject. I love it!
It is quite chunky to carry, like an SLR, but worth it.
and thanks Annie :>)
