Rhosneigr, Anglesey - Original Seascape by Sarah Morley

Just Finished! And a lovely memory of summer for many!
This is my painting of Rhosneigr on a lovely summer day - this is one of the spectacular beaches on the Island of Anglesey, North Wales, UK. It is quite big - 3ft x 3ft. Painted in oils using painting knives only. Price $700 plus shipping.

This painting is drying at the moment but it will be out on display next Friday 10th October, wet or dry! Friday 10th is the Preview of Vernon Mill Artist's Open Studios Weekend. If you are anywhere two hours drive or less from Stockport UK - do come - there's over 50 artists displaying their work over two floors on an old Cotton Mill, plus live music, wine, food - what more could you want? The Open Studios Event continues Saturday and Sunday, 10am til 4pm.

I am also doing a workshop - Paint a Sunset Alla Prima - this is a palette knife painting workshop - open to all on Sunday morning. Please ring me on 07946432818 or email sarlive02@aol.com for further details.

I am an artist, based in Stockport, UK, where I am part of the communal art studios in an old cotton mill, Vernon Mill. Art is my second career. I started it over 30 years ago when I started a Fine Art degree which I was really not ready for. I returned to my painting over 6 years ago. I paint mainly landscapes and seascapes in a semi abstract way that I hope invokes the feeling of 'being there'. Texture, light, colour and energy are important in my painting.

"Inspired by the Hydrangeas of Wales" by Karla Nolan

Yes, I AM part Welsh! My mother's family came from a tiny town near Aberystwyth, a university town, and my husband, two daughters and I have been to visit our distant relatives, one time meeting my father there, also, he loved the Welsh relatives...with good reason. Whilst there (don't I sound fancy!), I had the pleasure of viewing many beautifully hued hydrangeas blooming in a garden in Tenby, in the month of July, no less. It was much cooler than we had anticipated, the weather was much like that of Scotland, cool, misty, foggy, and green, with a great deal of sheep and lambs about.. I loved it! And my relatives there are wonderful, I hope we do get to see them again. (I am also Jewish, so you can imagine how difficult life is with the native languages, Hebrew and Welsh, virtually impossible for me to learn either. Oh well.)

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along! I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife. This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson. "Life is short, use color!"
