About Me
- vivien
- I'm interested in painting the light and colours of landscapes as they change through seasons, the time of day or weather. Seascapes feature strongly in my work as I love the coast, a love which developed when I lived near the sea as a child in Cornwall, Scotland, Malta and Gibraltar - each place with its special light and colour. I realise too that I love the edges of things - for instance the coast, where the sea meets the land, the edges of woods where the trees meet the open fields. I paint in most media and experiment with digital imagery - as a creative process related to my painting but also creating work that exists in its own right. Another interest is photography, mainly as something in its own right, as I only rarely paint from photographs. The same elements interest me here as in my painting. Apart from painting and photography, I teach art to adults and have all the normal preoccupations, trials and tribulations of women with families ... and cats.

Thinking of you, Vivien, and wishing you and your family peace.
I am so very sorry, Vivien. I had a feeling since September, when you did that loving portrait of him, that life was progressing that way. And you've been in my thoughts and hearts since then, with love.

So wonderful to read your posts again.
So sorry to read about the death in your family. Every good wish for you to get through a difficult time.
And congratulations on the use of the image on the Derwent poster, beautiful shot of colour, I believe you posted this drawing previously?
A gorgeous, striking poster image Vivien - I'm proud to 'know' the Derwent artist in residence. As I've said elsewhere, I can't think of anyone else who could do as much justice to the product - as displayed in your beautifully sensitive portrait. Thinking of you.
Thinking of you and yours, dear Vivien. The poster with your work on it is stunning.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am thinking of you during this difficult time.
Vivienne I am not sure who you have lost, but my thoughts are with you all the same. May you feel peace and love.
Thank you so much everyone x
yes, Jeanette it was done in the S&B sketchbook and I did show it a while agao :>)
Congrats on the residency and the poster Vivien.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
thanks Margo
