ArtWeeks comes up again before too long - May - and now is not too early to be thinking about planning for it!

I will exhibiting in ArtWeeks at the lovely St Etholwold's House in Abingdon again this year.  I had a while off from painting for nearly four months (due to Covid and Covid complications), but it gave me a chance to get some distance from my work and come up with some new ideas.... or perhaps to go back to some ideas I had had earlier.

The upshot of this is that I still want to paint landscape, still want to be trying to capture the feeling I get from being in quite unspoilt places, where Nature does what it wants with little guidance from man!  But the means seem to have changed.  I have been experimenting with collage (which offers so many possibilities that it might take the rest of my life!) to try to get a quiet, textured look which adds to the subtlety of what I see.
