If its Broken Stop Painting

Yes it is broken and I have found that it is very painful to try and sit at table and try drawing. A slightly reclined position is much better but not easy to attempt any work at this point.

From over 540 entries the selection committee chose to hang 320 paintings. "It's very encouraging to see that fine art illustration is accepted and recognised as art in an exhibition like this" said Stan Drew a collector of fine art, "this lovely watercolour painting by Peter Bowen is an example of what talented artist's in the Bristol area are capable of producing and it's good see that the Clifton Arts Club continues to support the artists in this community".

New Paintings for Clifton Arts Club

Image
The 101st Annual Open Exhibition of Art at the Clifton Arts Club opens on Saturday 18 July and closes 1 Ugust 2009. While travelling into Bristol on the Park and Ride bus from Long Ashton, I saw this view up towards Clifton Wood and that was the inspiration for this painting. I had a clear vision in my mind of what the painting should look like and I wanted to capture only the buildings themselves and not be concerned about the trees above and below the many different coloured houses. I must admit I struggled to get the composition just right while capturing the essence of the structures and balance the many colours together so that there remained a freshness to the scene.
