Rolling Hills Provence
Oil Painting by Shirley Sutton
Welcome to my site
Some people get caught up in the whirlwind of commercial enterprise without taking time to stop.
'Lift thy eyes unto the hills... Let the mood take you and fill your soul'.
Art is like music it , it has soul - it has rhythm a mood. You can feel this as you watch the sun sink below the horizon, lighting the alabaster cliffs along the Normandy Coast. Or as you marvel at old castles and statues built by the masters of art long ago.
It's there in the buzz that's Paris, Prague or Venice with their many people, cafes, wonderful aromas, sights and sounds of different languages. And you feel this soul... just sitting - brush in hand – watching the golden fields of wheat dancing in the breeze.
Colours, textures, sounds - It was this soul, this rhythm, and these experiences that I have tried to capture onto canvas. And yes, I hope you enjoy my site and can 'feel the soul'.
