Looking for Inspiration
In the May issue of THE ARTIST magazine I’ve produced a 4 page feature article on where to find, and how to use reference as a source of inspiration.

Woking Surrey 13th July - 20th October 2019
The Lightbox gallery and museum in Woking, one of the most exciting cultural spaces in the South East is hosting an exhibition of paintings by members of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
Anne’s paintings on show resulted from a trip to America, driving the West Coast through Oregon State to San Francisco California.
As a fan of the author John Steinbeck, Anne was inspired by the atmosphere he describes, of harsh lives and the isolation of the ranchers that is reflected in these homesteads.
Many would have been destroyed by the recent dreadful fires that hit this part of the American landscape.

One of the paintings (Home of the Mojito) was inspired by a visit to La Bodeguita del Medio, a frequent haunt of the famous writer Ernest Hemingway. The bar is a must for visitors to Havana wanting to experience the city’s decadent past, sample a mojito, and study the names that have been carved into the woodwork over many years.
