It’s springtime! As I’m writing this blog post the weather outside feels distinctly more like winter but that’s not untypical for April in the north east of England. Despite the weather, springtime is the theme for my exhibition currently on show at my gallery in Ponteland throughout the month of April.
Because we can experience such variable weather, sometimes in a single day, my springtime exhibition is as equally varied. There’s an eclectic mix of places and subjects to see for springtime like some of the very picturesque fishing villages on the East Neuk of Fife, cityscapes of Edinburgh and the Alps, including my painting “Mont Blanc and Manganese Blue” which was selected for the Royal Watercolour Society Exhibition earlier this year.
Other subjects include some classic views of Newcastle’s Grey Street, the Roman Forum in Italy. Both of which have been captured in springtime. I also have some figurative paintings on display too.
Springtime is often a period where we take a fresh look at our homes and gardens. Sometimes we do this to create a new look and feel to the environment we spend so much time in. What better place to start than to add to your art collection.
