A Midsummer Night’s Dream

It’s a long time since I studied this play at school but it seemed an appropriate subject for the weather we’re having. I had to look up a summary of the story and realised it’s very complicated! The essence though is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s a pretty nice leveller for anyone with an inferiority complex about their looks!

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.
