            AN ARTIST'S ISLAND

            AN ARTIST'S ISLAND

            Elizabeth Sutherland leads us through winter sea mists, along hedgerows and cottages, down to the sea on Nantucket, a tiny isolated island off Cape Cod that the artist calls home.

            Feel the mist rolling in and hear the cry of a gull, the clinking of boats moored for the winter and the fog horn sounding from one of the many lighthouses on the island.

            Famously described by Herman Melville in Moby Dick as an island "away off shore, more lonely than the Eddystone lighthouse", Elizabeth Sutherland's prolific watercolour observations reveal an island bursting with shapes and textures, colour and life, even in the depths of winter.

            This exquisite hand-painted collection is not a scientific survey of the island's flora and fauna, rather an artist's collection of observations. Through these works we are taken on a very special tour of this windswept isle.

            Each small painting is a joy in itself, a fragment, a glimpse into the artist's view-point which is to slow down and closely observe.

            Through Elizabeth's work, a pair of balancing stones can become a giant mountain, seaweeds turn into monumental forms and a single leaf becomes an entire island.

            THE NIGHT FOREST

            THE NIGHT FOREST

            The Night Forest is a collection of new paintings by Denise Allan, featuring woodland animals, birds and flowers.

            These exquisite paintings on board are painted to resemble the inlay of shells, marble and polished gemstones used in a technique called pietra dura that was made popular throughout Renaissance Italy.
