Love your style of painting Shirley.

The feeling is mutual, Louise!

I do love your work for it's joyful exuberance and casual brilliance.

Beautiful colours (again) and style Shirley.

Sumptuous, all round.

Thanks so much, Thea, Joseph and Gudrun. I am using a slightly different approach now, after the Turner course got me using some really strong colour wet-in-wet. Not seen here properly, (as it is only cartridge paper in the sketch book) but it has stopped me worrying about feeding in lots of paint in places.

I'm trying that 'not to worry', strong colour approach as well Shirley!

About the Artist

Shirley May

Always loved drawing and painting. Studied biology at UEA, PGCE at Sussex, then part-time art studies at Sussex and Brighton, including printmaking. Before Covid I gave a little weekly watercolour class for 7 years. Now I am using acrylics on canvas and paper en plein air whenever possible.
