Brenda Hurley
Tring, United Kingdom
I work on both canvas and thick cartridge paper building up layers of acrylic sometimes using the paint as a wash other times building up thick layers like oil paint.</p><p>My three main subjects for painting are landscape, the figure and family. Family is not about my family rather how I feel families should be, often a reflection of my feelings drawn from within, not observed from life.
Tractor tracks, corn circles, field shapes, furrows, water tracks down the side of hills, forgotten footsteps of the herdsman make wonderful patterns in the landscape, which inspire me to develop these elements, along with high key colour in to paintings.
