Thistles still life Painting

Jonquil is a British artist based in London. Following a Diploma in Art and Design she joined the Wimbledon Art Studios and shows her work in London and Cornwall. She works daily from her studio in southwest London. ‘My paintings, created using oil paint, are inspired initially by colours I observe in the landscape and things around me. Although my work is mostly representational, I allow the mark-making and textures created as I layer the paint, to inform the image. My focus is the sense of place, or essence of the object rather than a strict representation of it.’
