Tango and the Derbyshire Winter

Tango inspired painting is a new theme for 2012

 

This painting was inspired by the changing winter colours as I travelled through the Derbyshire countryside to visit the company that does such a wonderful job of framing my work. These journeys gives me time to look and begin to form ideas of how next I will paint my local landscapes.

Geraldine Rojas and Javier Rodriguez dance to Agustín Bardi’s Gallo Ciego, played here by Osvaldo Pugliese’s orchestra.

Christmas Exhibition at the Ingleby Gallery

I have an exhibition coming up shortly in a beautiful, picturesque gallery in Ingleby, near Melbourne, Derbyshire. The 18th century brick building housing the gallery was originally a shire horse stable, part of one of the working farms on Sir Francis Burdett’s Foremarke Estate. It retains many of its original features, hayrack and harness pegs. Ingleby itself is a small hamlet with some of the cottages dating back to the 16th century.

The preview is on 4 December, from noon to 4.00 p.m. and the exhibition runs until 18 December. The gallery owner is Gill Watson, tel: 0133 286 5995. Website www.ingleby-gallery.co.uk.

Sheffield Street Art

Street art by 'Phlegm'

Graffiti, or street art, can enliven our cities. Sheffield-based Phlegm has a very recognisable style. His background as a cartoonist is evident in his work, which is much more illustrative than the more common letter- or text-based graffiti.

He says, “I love to get run-down urban spaces and factories and play with the space. It’s such an immediate way to get your picture on the wall. A painting in the street becomes part of the city’s architecture, influenced by what’s around it…”

For more examples of Phlegm’s work see:

Tea, buns and purple chairs…

Another glorious July day of sunshine at Derbyshire’s Chatsworth House. Tea and buns within a cacophony of purple… purple chairs, that is… what do you think?
