Over the Brook - Painting

Acrylic/skins on canvas - 51x76cm

There is a brook next to the studio that I see from the large windows. Across the brook is a green space. The brook is never still, the water sometimes is meandering or a full-on torrent. Birds, including egrets, colonize its offerings as do fish, ducks, damsel-flies, paddling village and sometimes, children too. The brook’s colour changes throughout the day and seasons. The brook feeds into the river Nene (Pronounced Nen in this part of the County) which eventually meets sea at The Wash on the East Coast of England. I’m drawn to the water as if I’m shapeshifting and flowing off to the sea.

Detail - Over the Brook, painting by Linda Sgoluppi (51×76 cm): acrylic paint and acrylic paint skins. An abstract painting with a predominantly green surface, with pops of vibrant colour, textured and layered through applied acrylic paint and acrylic paint skins. Colours and marks shift across the canvas, suggesting movement and variation reminiscent of life around a brook, including its vegetation, wildlife, and seasonal changes. The painting was created during the Covid-19 pandemic, a period when, like many people, the artist experienced disruption and uncertainty. The composition is informed by the view outside her studio, capturing the dynamic, ever-changing qualities of the surrounding environment.
