Acrylic on hardboard 8" x 8"
This is a section of one of the Woodend mill artist's studios. His name is Chris Cyprus and he is a brilliant painter who loves to paint allotments and landscapes. Sorry Chris I have not done your landscape on the back wall there much justice. In reality that is a beautiful painting. Please click here for a link to Chris's work.
I was tempted to switch to oils about two thirds way through this but decided I would experiment with using much more solid body colour in the large floor area whilst keeping colour variation. I knew I wanted a body colour feel rather than a water colour feel.

Sheila, Your paintings are a knockout. I love your strong sense of design and painterly style.
When I come away from looking at your work I feel as though I’ve just drunk in large measures of fresh invigorating cosmic air. It wakes me up.
Marcia, thanks so much for your kind comment. I feel very complimented as my "painterly style" is one of the things I feel I really need to work hard at. I loved seeing your sculptures on your blog. It was what I wanted to concentrate on at one time (eons ago!).
I am always taken with your sense of design and color choices. This is a wonderful painting.
Thank you M. It's kind of you to say so.
Nice!
What is an allotment??
Hi Sheila,
This is a fab interior landscape Sheila. And thanks for being kind and posting the links to Chris's work...i thoroughly enjoyed looking at his paintings too.

Jala, in the north of england many houses did not have gardens or only a very small patch, so it became the custom to use a spare piece of agricultural land, maybe just outside of town, as space which people could rent and use as a vegetable patch to grow their own stuff. They might have a little shed there in which they could store their tools and seeds etc. This custom is still thriving and in fact it is difficult to find a "free" allotment these days.
Hi Sally, thanks for your comments and glad you liked Chris's paintings too.
I'm enjoying this series so much! I admire the way you thoroughly understand your media and how their handling can work for you.
Dar, thanks for your kind words. I'm working hard at understanding the media but I've still got a long way to go!
Your paintings remind me of Gwen John. The quiet luminosity of this painting is very beautiful!
Thank you Keiko - I also love the paintings of Gwen John.
Beautiful work...amazing light and cascade of light. Thanks for all the amazing work. Nina
Nina, thanks for your kind words. I have just had a great time updating myself on your latest photos - so unique and atmospheric.
