Two spots I paint at frequently are seen in these oils from May 2019: Down Cheddar Gorge, and Beehives and Camassia, at Holt Farm.

I also like painting old characterful trees such as this lovely sweet chestnut on Stoke Hill . I sat on the steps of the villege hall to paint this oil at Easter 2022.

Porthpean Cliffs. C.Lamb. Sept 21 Oil. 8x8"

I don't make lists for everything but I log each years oil paintings in an old diary with size and date and a little image to try and roughly identify each but even I get the details wrong as Porthpean was actually painted on 29/30thSept not October.

Oops it's 2022.    Art Inspired by Durer.

Hare. Carolyn Lamb
 Oops. I have been posting more on Instagram than here and now suddenly it's 2022.
To celebrate the current National Gallery London Credit Suisse Exhibition :  Dürer's Journeys: Travels of a Renaissance Artist  the weekly Clifton Arts challenge is to be inspired by Durer.

That reminded me of a Pigma micron pen drawing of a hare I did at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in 2019. So in honour of Durer's hare watercolour of 1502 (Albertina,Vienna)  I have cut out the ringbinder, extended the background paper and added my monogram in Photoshop Elements for my 2022 challenge entry.

In the Garden Of Eden .C. Lamb 2019. Inktense pencil (No water)
 In the past nude studies would have been used for grand compositions. And Life drawing has been seen as essential training for artists. While a few current artists specialise in nudes as a subject ( e.g. Lucien Freud, Jenny Saville etc) the majority of life drawing stays unwanted in sketchbooks. I wanted to do something further with my life drawings than just filling up numerous sketchbooks to keep my drawing skills honed.  The development of these drawings took place over a year starting with various life models and then plants and animals sketched at Bristol Zoo. The subject of Adam and Eve was suggested by my friend Tim. Both Eden and apple were shown for the first time on the 2021 BS9 Art trail.
Picture
Adam and Eve: Decisions. C.Lamb. 2019. Inktense pencil and water.

The Tree of Knowledge. C.Lamb 2019. Inktense pencil and water. The gnarled Midland Hawthorn at the Zoo was a perfect model for the tree of knowledge in all 3 sketches.

All four of my submissions have been selected for the 111 th Open Exhibition of Clifton Arts. Runs from 31st July to 15th August at the Undercroft, Victoria Methodist Church, Whiteladies Road, Bristol. Here framed are Shepherds Hut, Wrington, 2020, and Upper Tullochgrue Farm, Rothiemurchas, 2019. I usually like to leave my oils at least a year before framing and exhibiting so they have properly dried.
