Josephine Wall

"The art of painting is more than a career to me, it is an all consuming obsession and a love of colour and form. In fact, if I am away from my easel for too long I become restless and anxious to paint again"

A winding path through long grass dotted with flowers ends in a double fronted thatched cottage. Light streams from the open door. The path is lined with brightly-coloured tall trees, and flowers bloom across the bottom of the design. Behind the house, a full moon shines, a spiral pattern in the mid-blue sky flows out from the moon, and clouds are dotted overhead. This is a very colourful design of teal, red, blue and green.

Rachel Blackwell

“My paintings come from the enchanted realm of imagination and are often inspired by the pockets of wildness in rural England. The landscapes are often populated by woodland animals, mythical creatures, fairies, goddesses and nature spirits which weave stories through the landscape of my paintings. I use both traditional and digital painting to conjure a whimsical realm which softens the edges of a world that can sometimes be too sharp.”

The leaves, berries and fruits of UK native trees sprout from a central green face. The face is surrounded by a circle listing the names of the trees in English and the Ogham alphabet. Outside the circle, starting with Winter Solstice / North / Earth at the top and working clockwise, are the names of the traditional festivals and the four points of the compass against a floral background.

Wendy Andrew

"The shimmering beauty of the natural world inspires me and the dream-like realms of myth are my passion. Once upon a timeless time we enter the misty realms of long ago and forever. Here the ancient stories are told that teach us of the cylic nature of life... of the beneficence of Mother Earth, Her strength and Her fragility of the battles and harmonies between male and female... and on and on... This is the timeless time of our inner knowing and here life truths are known. My wish is that my paintings will act as portals through which you, the viewer, can enter these mythic realms and be enriched by what you find there..."

There's snow on the window frame. Shelves next to the fire contain lots of books. There's straw on the floor and hanging above them.
