This oil painting is more abstract than some of my past paintings but very enjoyable to do. I decided that although it is only 30 x 30cm I would do it in oils to keep the vibrancy of the colours plus I love the smell of the paint. It was so hot today the paint was nearly sliding off the board!
The Embrace

About angela brittain
Each work I create has a search for “rightness” – an attempt to solve complex and often self-imposed compositional problems. They often have a tension below the surface.
I work mainly in oil or acrylics on board.
People fascinate me but I’m not sure that I made a conscious decision to make people central to my work or if this subject chose me.
I have a Diploma in Art and Design and worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator before finally returning to my first love of drawing & painting in 2008.
I have taught art to children and adults and currently offer one-to-one workshops from my home studio in West Sussex.
I am a Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and exhibit in London and the South.
