Place Life Colour

This is the chaotic home of a colour-addicted and constantly learning artist. You are very welcome.
I am working towards a series of plant paintings for July 2024.
For now I am building up a sketchbook of ideas in gouache, backed up with lots of gelli prints in green.
This series will have a lot of green. I love green though not all artists do. But I have not often used it in paintings. Now is the opportunity to mix a great many different greens!
This shows some hosta leaves. Pure torment for any gardener with slugs around.
For me, making art in a digital format is a very new venture. I have completed quite a few tutorials and they have emboldened me to strike out on my own. For the moment I have stuck with portraits but I expect more will happen in due course. Digital apps are like a whole new paintbox!
You may have noticed, that I have added pages for prints, digital and sketches, none of which had any content.
Until now! I have started with a selection of images from early on in the Pandemic, where I sat in my studio and finally gave in to my desire to capture my experience of Morocco on paper. You may have already seen these but who wants to scroll back through Instagram for four years?
For the first time on this site, I have also opened up the lightbox feature, for this page only. Goodness it's by no means perfect. I'll see if I can get it a bit prettier as time goes on. The pictures are great though and you can pick them out of the gallery and look at them one at a time.
