Art Weekly 173 – A Touch of Sunshine

aw-173-atouchofsunshine27th September 2016

I took this photo a few years ago in France, when I was tootling around the back roads of the Lot. I came to a break in the trees, and there tucked away amongst the sombre colours of the surrounding forest, was this little field of sunflowers. What else could I do, but screech to a halt and leap out with my camera!  It’s always so good to be able to capture these memories with paint.

Art Weekly No 172 – Blue Chairs, Koroni

Blue Chair21st September 2016

As I mentioned in my recent Newsletter, I will be including some paintings from my #100 Painting Challenge in my Art Weekly mailouts. These paintings are a little smaller than A5, and done in various mediums – if you follow my Jackie Sherwood Artist page in Facebook, or Instagram, you may have seen them when they were originally posted.

I love these blue wooden chairs which seem to be scattered all over Greece! I took this photo when we first arrived in Koroni, and have often sketched and painted them. Unfortunately (for me) now, the building behind has been repaired and painted, very smartly, in a bright mustard colour. It just somehow just doesn’t have the appeal any more!

Northern Territory Coral #1

oc-08_ntcoral1

This painting forms part of my ‘Oceans’ series and the photograph of this coral was taken by James in the Northern Territory of Australia. It seemed a unusually dull coloured coral, and I tried to keep my usual love for bright colours under control.

Details of this painting can be found in Gallery – Oceans.

Nearly Open, Honfleur

PN-07_NearlyOpen-Honfleur

Honfleur has long been one of my favourite towns in France and its well known throughout the world for its beautiful harbour, which I’ve painted a few times. On our last visit I also tried to photograph the colours of the cafes and restaurants lining the harbour which are still very much a huge part of Honfleur.

Art Weekly 171 – Fiskardo, Kefalonia

AW-171_Fiskardo-Kefalonia26th May 2016

It seems every time I send out an Art Weekly these days, I apologise for my tardiness! I’ve been working on larger canvasses recently, and the AWs seem to have taken a back seat. However, I’ve now decided to absorb some of my paintings from the #100 Painting Challenge which I’ve been taking part in, into the Art Weekly mailouts. They are smaller, hence the price reduction, and perhaps a little simplified, which I rather like. If you follow me on either Facebook or Instagram you may well have seem some of these!

This one is a small bay in Fiskardo, a lovely Venetian town in the north of Kefalonia. The water around the island is a brilliant turquoise, and I had fun capturing it, using acrylic inks for a change, in an endeavour to keep the freshness. It seems fitting to send this painting out today, as we’re heading to Kefalonia on Monday to meet up with my eldest son James, and his partner Danielle. We plan to spend a few days there, and on Zagkynthos, before coming back down to Koroni. Let’s hope our usual Greek summer kicks in soon!

Art Weekly 170 – Quiet Streets, Polperro

AW-170-Polperro,Cornwall27th April 2016

Apologies for another large gap in my Art Weekly paintings. I’ve been working on various large canvasses, and somehow haven’t managed to finish off any of the small ones I have patiently waiting. I hope to finish my Newsletter very soon, so you will be able to get a peek at where my energies have been directed!

This is a a street scene from the lovely town of Polperro in Cornwall. It was December when were there, and a tad chilly, hence the deserted look of the place. I believe during the summer months, it’s a whole different story!
