Good morning everyone. I’m so delighted, my new painting has been accepted for the Summer show in the Open Gallery in Halifax! And this is a new gallery, so I’m really looking forward to seeing it and the current show on the walls. By the way, the theme actually is Summer, so I thought that this painting would fit in very well. In fact, I created this while I was studying a module in an online course. And the tutor, Rod Moore lives in Queensland, Australia. So, most of the reference photos he provides are of his local area. Maybe you can see that I tried to create an atmosphere of heat rising from the fields in the late afternoon. And a hint of heat haze on the distant mountains.
Of course, we have to deliver it soon, so we can spend a morning walking around historic Halifax. And perhaps potter around the wonderful Piece Hall, as I described in my post here. And you can read all about this Grade 1 listed building.
If you’re in the area, please join us at the opening event on Saturday 25th June, 5 till 7pm.
Best of luck Margaret
Thank you, Graham. I will need it!
I love so much about this, the colors, the light and shadow, the texture. It certainly deserves a place in the gallery!
Thank you so much, J. I just had it framed this morning!
Congratulations!
Thank you, Susan!
