ST. THOMAS ART GUILD SHOW & SALE 2021 Catherine Goodmurphy's award-winning painting, OUT IN THE COLD 6 x 6. Oils. $100 Judge's Comments: The combination of cool and warm tones are very pleasing to my eye. I enjoy how the snow softens all aspect of the painting without obscuring the scene. There is a great sense of depth to this one. |
Having grown up in the north of England I soon grew to love the natural beauty of the country on the borders of Scotland. My father was an excellent artist but due to shortages after the war I never really had the opportunity to explore my artistic ability.
It was not until my boys were grown up that I enrolled in a beginners watercolour class. Since then I have explored various mediums but am most comfortable with Watercolours and oils. Lately I have been enjoying the surprise element of watercolour batiks and find the process very enjoyable.
I would consider myself to be a representational artist rather than an absolute realist. I paint a large variety of subject matter depending on the medium I use.
Art has become a large enjoyable part of my life and each new canvas or watercolour paper presents a new exciting challenge!
