As usual I went to Debenham Church to have a look around this years art .
Also as usual the sun was shining making a lot of reflection - so the photos are poor. I just took a few photos of those I liked the look of.
I went first thing Saturday and there are many red dots so Friday must have been busy with buyers which is good .
First one below is Helen Maxfield who always has Linocuts in all the local art exhibitions. Someone has bought several of her work here.
Colin would have liked this one below of horses ploughing - he preferred pictures with people in them rather than just views. These four are water colours by Jim Lait except for the fishing boats which is acrylics.
These two below are lino cuts by Gillian Thornton
Below in soft pastel is a very unusual view of trees called 'Just Look Up' by Teresa Seals.
I didn't realise this was paper collage until I enlarged it here and I've missed the number so not sure who it's by.
Love the colours in 'Autumn Squash' by Stella Burgess in Acrylics
Below.............I liked these miniatures in Watercolour and Gouache by Wendy Gooch. Anyone of them would have added nicely to my 'art wall' but not at £160 each. I looked her up online and she is well known in the world of miniature paintings.
The catalogue says this one below is a 'Reduction Lino Cut' . It's called One Sunday in Summer and is by Patricia Woodward.
Three fun chicken paintings. Watercolours by Claire Weeks
So many talented people!
It was so hot on Saturday morning that it even felt really warm inside the church- I was glad I'd found somewhere in the shade to park and glad to get home again.
Back Tomorrow
Some really lovely paintings etc there. I like the lino cuts. I had a kit for Christmas but not tried it yet as I would like to get a couple of lino offcuts so I can practice first.
ReplyDeleteThe Autumn Squash is really colourful. I think the Helen Maxfield lino cuts are my favourites, but a lot of talented people there.
Lovely pieces, such diversity of styles. I like people in my pictures too.
ReplyDeleteI love lino cuts - I have tried this myself so know what it involves and have such respect for those who have mastered it. A reduction lino cut is where you create the picture using many layers and take several prints of each layer. Then you cut a layer away each time and print over the previous layers, being careful to register them in the same place. You end up with only the final top layer on the lino block. It means the print run is limited and can't be repeated.
ReplyDeleteI love the soft pastel of the trees too - initially, I thought it was a photo!
Best wishes

There's a lot of talent on display there.
ReplyDeleteYour local artists seem to be more talented than our local artists . Something about Suffolk & the people it attracts ? I could give a home to many of those artworks .

Lots of excellent work there, I keep thinking that 'Debenham' is the old store.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting selection of artwork. I have attended a couple of lino cutting workshops and it's much harder than I thought it would be! I enjoy exhibitions but the prices are out of my budget these days.
ReplyDeletePenny
I loved your selection, as you say, such talent.

ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable day out for you. Thanks for bringing us along!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely artwork there, I particularly like the Frances Barthorpe pictures.
ReplyDeleteWarm in a church…the world really is coming to an end then!
ReplyDeleteLovely art!
ReplyDeleteFinding ways to stay cool is key for now. I hear, the heat is breaking records, especially in France.
Oh I really like the pumpkins. I'd love to have that for Oct/Nov
ReplyDeleteYou have some marvelous artists in your area!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely paintings here, such a talented bunch. My favourite is the cycling girls. Such a brilliant use of colour.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an artist bone in my body.
