Trees and the River: Paintings from a personal journey through local trees and parks, with views of nearby riversides, in a variety of mediums, from realism to abstraction, little to large.
Gillie and Nick both find endless inspiration in the ever-changing English landscape, fascinated by the way in which the same image can vary, not just with the seasons, but with the play of light from one day to the next.
Over the past few months, Gillie has enjoyed sketching and painting outdoors on The Thames and locally, producing both framed pictures and an array of original artwork greetings cards. Back in the studio, she has been been working on some abstract pieces, loving the freedom and unexpected results that this discipline allows in contrast to more representational work.
Nick mainly works in acrylics on canvas but has recently enjoyed more mixed media on paper, letting the flowing curves of his life drawings mingle with the shapes of nature.
