'To be there'

Solo Exhibition 

Royal Birmingham Society of Artists - ground floor

17 August – 3 October 2021

 

Linda Nevill would love to be in any of these landscapes again whether in sunshine or snow, on a clifftop overlooking the sea or high in the hills.  These are her responses to a range of landscapes evoking memories of, amongst other things, the softness of heather, the searing heat on the coastal path, the tingling of ice and the crunching of footsteps in snow.

Working in all weathers to make plein air sketches and studies she works with these and photographs to create finished pieces.

For this exhibition she has worked with vibrant soft pastels

Plein air painting at the seaside - windy but wonderful

 It was wonderful to be able to paint outdoors on the beach.  The tide was coming in and the wind was sharp but somehow battling against time, wind and tide was exhilarating, especially of months working only in my studio.
