ISOLATION ARTIST BLOG - DAY 13

I've noticed that the colours I've been using since lockdown are much brighter and colourful than most of my previous palettes. I don't know what to put this down to but I'm feeling very happy to be drawn to a more colourful palette. When some of them are finished and ready to go, I'll post them on the Blog.

Today the painting I'm showing is "Great Toller, Summer", which has a message about friendship in it. This piece is currently in a virtual Exhibition at the Hatch Gallery in Christchurch, Dorset. Great Toller is in rural Dorset and is such a beautiful and inspiring landscape and is near a place that the Bournemouth Arts Club had an Exhibition I was in during the summer of 2018.

It's the centenary of the Bournemouth Arts Club this year and we were all set to have an Exhibition at the wonderful Russell Cotes Gallery in Bournemouth, which, like so many things has had to be postponed until next year due to the current circumstances. However, it's very good to have things like this to look forward to rather than being cancelled altogether.
