Somerset Artist (Artists in focus No.4 )







Back in September I visited the studio/home of the artist Angela Charles. I'd met Angela a while ago when she was exhibiting at a gallery in Bath.
This time she was taking part in the Somerset Arts weeks, an open studios event held annually at  various venues across Somerset, England.


                                                              
Angela Charles at home in Somerset
 
She was displaying her landscape inspired work at her home in Crewkerne South Somerset and we spoke about her paintings that are frequently influenced by the Dorset/Devon coast.                                            
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You can find out more about Angela's work from her website www.angelacharles.com (hover mouse if this fails to appear as this sometimes annoyingly happens due to white out of black type!)

Jurassic coast


 
 




                         An acrylic on canvas painting of the "Jurassic Coast" on the  Dorset/East Devon border in England. I spent a few days here and with the usual workbook sketches and photographs have started to document this amazing coastline.

               More photographs, sketches and notes from the recent visit to Rhodes.These will be a reference for some new work that will attempt to capture the "sense of place" and atmosphere of the area of Pefkos and Lindos.

Arts weekend

   





              The arts trail weekend that I posted about previously was very successful. I was exhibiting with five other artists/craftspeople and met lots of interesting visitors and sold quite a few paintings.
Thanks to all the organisers.
