Inspriational artist

I belong to an online organisation called 'The Shed'  where budding photographers, artists and other crafts people can display their wares.  The team behind the website handle all enquiries and sales to save the contributors the bother.

An artist who has been involved with The Shed since its conception has inspired for assignment 2 with her interpretation of the local landscape.  Hilary Buckley uses the patterns of local fields, in a way similar to David Hockney, in a 2-dimensional way and changes the colours to denote the seasons.

Here's a couple of my favourite scenes which she created last year:

Painting titled Patterns of Marshwood Vale


Patterns of Colmer's Hill

  I love the way that the autumn colours blend with each other but are still separate.  Hilary has done a series of images of this local view, distinctive for the pine trees at the apex, depicting the different seasons.
