Chris's superb landscape oil paintings, with all their well-observed detail and delicate coloration, are often based on a limited palette. She has created three of them on a charming washing line theme over the summer months of 2024.
She delights in experimenting with paint in this way and achieves harmonious and serene effects, even on a small scale. This is even true when she focuses in on the humble washing line by the garden shed.
“I'm intrigued by light and colour and the beautiful complexities of oil paint.”
There is nostalgia and vintage, inter-war-years appeal to these images - an impression of a simple, functional domestic garden scene, unblemished by modern ways and beautiful in its pastel pinks and blues.
