I have been back to Norfolk again, Yes, i’m on the road again! A self-contained cottage and some new brushes,
A while ago, before covid appeared, I was invited to participate in Paint out Norfolk 2020. Then everything was put on hold during lockdown when one by one, all my plans were cancelled, and lockdown took over!
So it was a delight to hear that paint out Norfolk had been re-designed in a covid safe way. Now I and the other participating Artists, are on the road again, painting in Norfolk. Almost 50 of us, could go out painting again, and exhibit in a socially distanced way.
This view will be familiar to many art lovers.
It is St Benet’s Abbey ruins near Ludham. Painted by many notable artists, including John Crome and Edward Seago, from his boat / studio on the nearby river.
The sky was wonderful, and added drama to my painting, as did the dog walker, who appeared as I was packing up.
Other places I visited and painted while on the road again, included Loddon meadows and Barton Turf. Here I found a cornish ‘crabber’. A traditional timber sailing boat. I also visited Blakeney Quay on the north coast. Norfolk has so much to offer plein air artists. All these and more, are in my website gallery, click on any photo to be taken there!
I’ll leave you with a time-lapse video demo of the afternoon sun in our lounge, painted during the lockdown, Enjoy and subscribe, to see more of these.
