The Needles, Isle of Wight, by Carolyn Lamb, 2014, acrylic, 20x20cm. Along with Failand Poppies (2) this was selected for exhibition at Steak of the Arts, Harbourside, Bristol, from 3rd- 30th Nov 2015
Look on https://youtu.be/q7u49moFGC8 for the Clifton Arts Club exhibition opening in the Steak of the Arts Gallery and some of the other paintings on show. This includes a brief back view of me in my poppy jumper!
We had a great meal there after the opening. Delicious food for vegetarians too ( not just Steak lovers).
I got the chance last year to paint the Needles. I always paint from life so have to go to the spot. Which means a lot of travelling. The whole trip was by public transport and took 4 days - 2 to get there and back, and 2 days painting this on site. It was an hour and a half each way by bus from Sandown where I was staying, plus the walk up the cliff to the spot above. I used acrylics instead of oils as they would dry and not smudge and the picture could be safely transported home.
