'My Garden'

'Bluebell Wood'

'Bear on a Bike'

'Journey to the Beach'

'Abstract' actually means 'non recognisable form' but the word seems to have become more and more watered down and these paintings have been described by art critics as 'abstract'

The first 'Bear on a Bike' was commissioned for a public library in London in a large 2metres x 2metres.

Caroline can't remember what inspired her but she often starts creating her abstracts thinking about empty and full space, plus the relativity of line and makes marks on canvas which eventually conspire to create something recognisable.

Caroline concentrates on making 'Happy' paintings that have a sense of humour. The 2ND painting (Journey to the Beach) is part of a huge 3metre painting that is also in a public space in London.

The 3RD painting 'Chimney Tops' was one of a series of 12 - inspired by some wonderful old chimney pots that are perched on top of the 16th century alms houses that are opposite her studio in Mapledurham.

This painting was created in flourescent paint - to enhance the memory. It was also sold to a public space in London..

'Palm'

'Hermits Retreat'

How can it not? the light, the atmosphere, the colour, the freedom mean there is inspiration in everything for her.

She is a prolific artist - when she gets the chance!! The final painting will be a very quick painting but underneath the final layer are layers and layers of paint and form. She has a specific way of working which is too lengthy to go into here but each painting starts off as something often very different from the final painting.

The 1st painting 'Palm' is based on a palm tree - of which there are hundreds in Spain

The 2nd painting, 'Hermit's Retreat' was an abandoned house in Monda, which nature was quickly reclaiming!!

The 'Purple Trees' were inspired by the dark trunks of the olive trees that seem to 'glow purple' in certain light. These paintings were a quick seller - 8 in all and they have all been sold in the gallery in Spain.

The 4th painting, 'Bougainvillea' was inspired by bougainvillea that covered a house in the old town of Marbella and she wanted to capture the 'sway' of the plant, the colour and the light - along with the smell. The painting was given as a gift to someone who requested it - as soon as it was painted.

So anyway we hope this informs you of Caroline's outstanding painting abilities!!

Her original and traditional painting techniques and how she can inspire, motivate and teach you professional painting. BUT do not feel intimidated she is the nicest, unassuming artist you could find!! Keen to turn you into an inspired painter!!
