We’ve seen the end of a very difficult year and feeling hopeful in 2021. We’ve moved to live and show our work in Cornwall, where both Paul and I find so much art inspiration! Here are my last three paintings from this year – all about the Merry Maidens stone circle, where girls were turned into stone because they danced on the Sabbath!
Each painting has a paper layer in the centre which is a monotype. It is layered in with acrylic paint and clear varnish, all on board. I’ve been interested for a while in how to combine monotypes with painting and these are the first three successful ones.
It feels positive to be developing new techniques and moving into a new location – roll on 2021!
