A IS FOR ART This is a playful garden sculpture fashioned from some old angle iron. During our recent exhibition so many people commented on our collection of recycled objet trouve’. We are blessed to live in a beautiful place and to have a lovely garden which we have spent ten years creating. The garden feeds our imagination and is a constant source of inspiration. As I was saying to my physiotherapist it’s also supposed to keep you fit! #idreamofgardens #artwork #gardenart #gardenartist #freepaintersandsculptorsgroup #fpsartistgroup #aisforart #holisticartexperience #gallerygarden

VOID & FILAMENT Each 91cm x 61cm x 4cm Acrylic and mixed-media on bonded box canvas. Always good to see these two together. I made four works exploring this technique which combines a lot of textural layering and getting paint into the resulting surface which creates some interesting surprises. They’ve become two of my favourites. Particularly as they got through to the second stage of The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition that year but were ultimately politely rejected! It’s a funny old life being an artist but on we go. #royalacademyofarts #freepaintersandsculptors #willbartonart #onwego #funnyoldlife #favouritepaintings #texture #void #filament #inthegallery #beinganartist #galleries

COMET & MAGMA With details. Each 40cm x 40cm framed. DM to purchase. #workforsale #fineart #painting #willbartonart #freepaintersandsculptorsgroup

COMET & MAGMA Each 40cm x 40cm framed. Mixed media and acrylic on board. Big rehang in the gallery today after a busy exhibition weekend. Good to see these two together. It’s often said that simplicity is the hardest thing to do. I made them a few months ago and kept thinking I’d make more additions but the frames seem to have completed them. With some pieces knowing when to stop isn’t always clear but they feel right. DM to purchase. #fineart #artist #painting #studio #gallery #exhibition #willbartonart #freepaintersandsculptorsgroup #comet #magma #mixedmedia #workforsale

WILL 2022 A moment of repose on a busy day at Wallings, Silverdale. We’ve met lots of great people. Some old friends popped in and we’ve had some lovely feedback. Nice to be involved in the Silverdale and Arnside Art Trail again after a long interregnum. This is me in front of my painting GREENFUSE. There is a powerful symbiosis between the garden we’ve made and the art we make and we’ve been very touched that so many visitors have recognised the joy we feel about the place we are so fortunate to live. In turbulent and challenging times we all need a purpose to help us make sense of our lives. Creativity can generate a feeling of well-being and inner meaning. Making and creating has been a constant feature of human progress and at a time when so much culture is under threat, if we can find sustenance and balance in the passion of ideas and creation we will all be stronger and happier for it. #mentalhealthawareness #SAACT_Trail #willbartonart #fineart #painting #gallery #exhibition #freepaintersandsculptorsgroup #creativity #gardens

DUSK Another small watercolour and crayon painting which I’ll be showing as part of my exhibition at our gallery at Wallings, Cove Road, Silverdale. The Silverdale and Arnside Art Trail starts tomorrow at 1.00 through to 8.00 and then 10.30-5 on both Saturday and Sunday. I’ll be exhibiting some new paintings with my range of prints. A diverse mix of many different phases of my work but with a particular influence from the unique landscape of Morecambe Bay and the Lakes which I’ve been privileged to enjoy for the past ten years. It’s a special place and we feel blessed to experience it. It’s this feeling I try to express; attempting to convey the poetry of the place. The way it feels and forms a meaning to life as we confront the insistent challenges which our world continually presents. #willbartonart #freepaintersandsculptorsgroup #fineart #painting #studio #gallery #exhibition #SAACT_Trail #dusk #mentalhealthawareness
