AN ARTIST IN THE FAMILY

My wife is a very good water colour painter. She has been  developing her skills in this difficult art very steadily over the last four years or so, to the point where she is now very accomplished in what she does. 

A couple of months ago, a magazine contacted her and asked her if she wanted to submit a few pictures with a view to having one of them published on the front cover of the July issue. 

Here it is.


As you can see her style is very open, loose and free, and she uses the colours in a way which blend together in a way which I really love. The colours mix on the paper and not in the palette, which gives them a real vibrancy and life. The one below is of Yours Truly painted in the Autumn last year.
