Here is a section of my painting Art Full of Love. It’s a big painting framed it’s about 71cm by 81cm. It is a departure for me because for the first time I painted it specially for a special event with a theme firmly in mind. Usually I let the paint decide what I would paint and go whatever way it leads, which is wonderful and free spiritied. This time I had to plan it, and whilst I did incorporate things the paint suggested, the main themes were firmly set. This painting was painted to celebrate the Centenary this year, of the Darlington Society of the Arts. I wanted to include landmarks of Darlington. I also wanted to acknowledge the town’s pioneering link to the first passenger railway in the whole world! I confess the Lilies in the foreground were given to me by my lovely friend I could not resist the urge to paint them.
