Painting ‘Dogs at Dusk’ by Sue Hodge.
I recently realised it is good to stick to what you’re good at. I’m not good at numbers, but my husband is a bookkeeper. I love what I see and experience around me, so I keep painting it. So many people are stuck in a 9 to 5 job that they just don’t enjoy. I get that; I clean houses to bring in money but every day I try and paint. It is my blood and it feeds my soul. Try and find time in your day to do what you love.
I also love our regional area – the farmland, colours, livestock, golden wheat fields, country towns and the slower pace of life.
This Exhibition at Rosnay Cellar Door is titled “Within 100k’s”. Every piece of art will be based on a place or scene that is local. I don’t just love the brilliant scenes and sunsets of our local region, but I love the life.
More and more I am trying to catch the stories of our towns and farm life in what I paint. Whilst I love bold colour contrast and playing with perspective, people are drawn to a story.
Please join me as I take you on a adventure of our local life and land through art.
The exhibition opening will be on Saturday 6 September, 6pm at Rosnay Cellar Door.
Wine and nibbles provided, all welcome.
