Last two weekends of June

There isn’t the usual Silverdale and Arnside Art Trail this year, however I have decided to open my Studio and have an exhibition on show at that time. Many other artists in the two villages are going to open the last weekend of June. I will open for both the last two weekends of June on the Saturday and Sunday 10.30am – 4 pm.

I hope you will still visit as there will be lots to see. Look forward to seeing you.

 Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th June   10am – 5pm

This theme gradually emerged as a metaphor for both eternal values and the temporary nature of existence. 

These images aim to express the continuity of natural time but also to symbolise our transient presence.

During the long lockdown period our local ambience subtly changed and slowly became tranquil and calming.

Life’s trivial distractions eventually slipped away …

But there were still two reassuring daily events …

The sun rose and the sun set.

The estuary’s serene beauty was most deeply felt in the evenings when there was more time to contemplate and reflect.

Each dusk the seascape offered up, moment by moment, unique and fascinating experiences.

This slow peaceful communing at sundown, became a meditative and deeply restorative ritual which naturally evolved into actual paintings.

During this unusual time, I seemed to develop a heightened clarity and a more nuanced discernment of the visual elements needed to capture the beautiful sensations which I had experienced.

An exhibition of 24 small paintings produced during lockdown based on Arnside Estuary Sunsets observed from the same location. They focus in on some of the more abstract elements while retaining the subject.

As the body of work developed it seemed to be more than the individual paintings, it became one piece of work. I started to envisage this big block of work being displayed all together. This needs to be viewed in situ, as looking at the individual images on screen can’t adequately covey that impact. I hope seeing it in the flesh will provoke the emotional response that I deeply felt during the whole process of this study.

Alongside the 24 Sunsets there will also be other larger Estuary themed paintings as well as a new release special reproduction print featuring 20 of the sunset images.

I hope you enjoy the exhibition and that each piece of work will remind you of the peace always within us, a simpler life, a life that’s precious.

Blackbird

New Work …

The past weeks have seen me immersed and engrossed in this Blackbird series. Initially inspired by the amount of Blackbirds visiting the garden during the very cold weather the work developed over many stages and layers and I loved every minute of it. It was quite a long and tricky process and I’m very pleased with the results. 
There are 6 mixed media paintings that are combined with mono printing in the series, all similar but each very unique. The background shines and sparkles like diamonds in real life, which isn’t quite as apparent in the photograph!
The first one has been hung in the studio and you are most welcome to arrange a visit.
