Colleen Conti - Colourful Counterpane

£500.00

Oil on paper backed with board
50 x 50 cm

My inspiration comes from the environment and the way being ‘in nature’ heightens my awareness of both that moment in time and of times past. I find the quality of light the most affective experience of being in a place, and the interplay of light and shade is a prominent characteristic of my work. Closely followed by this are seasonal changes in the colours and forms of the landscape which directly influence my palette and focus. I am interested in the co-existence of natural and cultivated aspects of the landscape: wildness and the human presence in fields, hedgerows, and ancient roads. I feel that these features of the landscape, such as paths, form a vivid connection between us and our predecessors.
