Ashley Frost

Sheltered Waterway

 

71x83cm

 

I started this painting in autumn this year while on an artist residency at the PLC school in Croydon. I worked from previous ink drawings and a monotype colour study created from the location of the creek. The location is one of the many small waterways that is a great part of the Greenway. I wanted to depict the thriving natural environment contrasted with just a suggestion of the urban environment with a house or two peeking through the trees. I used highly chromatic colours to convey the heightened joy I feel in this location. I wanted the final painting to be an ensemble of the sight, smell and sounds of the location - as American artist Joan Mitchell described it, a 'sensation of place'.
