"Purple Scottish Hills" by Amanda Hunt

Living in the Berkshire countryside provides many opportunities for our Artist of the Week, Amanda Hunt, to take inspiration from the surrounding woodlands and fields with their ever changing colours and variety of shapes throughout the different seasons. Sunsets and lively skies also provide strong influences and in each painting she aims to capture and demonstrate the emotions and experiences that have been drawn upon to shape and develop it. 

Amanda says:
"My paintings are distinctive with their strong colours and flowing lines and each one is truly unique. The painting shown above, "Purple Scottish Hills"is a peaceful lakeland mountain scene in realxing purple hues, inspired by the Cairngorms. When not painting, I devote much of my spare time developing my artwork, enhancing my skills, learning new techniques and trialling different styles and media."

"Moonlight Forest" by June Green

This week we have had June Green as our Artist of the Week. June is a self taught artist and calligrapher. She worked as a professional calligrapher for five years alongside a wedding photographer before her children were born. Now that her children are grown up, she finds she has more time to devote to her main creative outlet of painting.

June says:

"My favourite art is Chinese brush painting, Japanese Sumi-e painting and last but not least, Trompe L'oeil. I try to incorporate a flavour of these styles into my paintings, working mainly in Acrylics as I find this medium to be so versatile. All my paintings feature my first name signed in Chinese, to symbolise my love of eastern art."

June also enjoys working with wax in encaustic painting.....such as the one picture above.
