Chipping Campden Morning

Watercolor on Paper

Chipping Campden Morning shows an open field behind the Lygon Arms where I was staying.. The field almost always had sheep grazing with St. James Church in the distance. Sheep share the field with the public foot path, and almost always there would be walkers..a classic pastoral English scene.

Artist Statement:

I paint for the joy of painting. It is a natural way to express my ideas, impressions and reactions to nature, color and mood. Using landscape, the garden and still life, I am able to paint my responses in a way that expresses my sheer excitement of putting the brush to paper with watercolor paint, making marks, creating edges, washes and using brilliant color. Local regional scenes as well as traveling abroad give me endless opportunity to paint en plein air and in my studio. Gardening, cooking and teaching are passions I share with my brush.
