Hello, I have created a new collection of beautiful oil paintings of the South Downs for my third Artists Open House. Working outdoors in all weathers, and in the studio, my paintings capture one of the most stunning chalkland landscapes in England. My timeless paintings immerse you in the Downs as if you were there. They embrace the changing seasons, dramatic skies, chalkland flowers and rolling hills of the South Downs bringing nature into your home.
Eight skilled artisans are showcasing their work too, with an array of wonderful creations on display in the 1920’s characterful house, studio and garden. Their ceramics, textiles, felt, jewellery, garden ornaments and sculpture, complement my landscape paintings and museum quality prints and are a feast for the eyes.
As well as enjoying the artworks, relax in the pretty, tranquil cottage garden with a cuppa and cake.
It will be my pleasure to welcome you, Bonnita
