The trees in this painting are ones that Lynda has made up , they’re a weird mix of oaks and larches and beech that have had to grow really tall because there’s a lot of conifers that have been planted on the hill and they take all the sunlight . The hill is on at the Buckholt , just north of Monmouth on the Hereford road. It’s the site of a really old hill fort that’s never been excavated.
Showing in our Autumn Exhibition ‘When Soft was the Sun’ opening on Saturday September 3
Lynda was born in Sunderland in 1970, settling in Monmouth in the early 1980’s, where she has lived ever since. She studied Art Foundation at Newport College of Art & Design, followed by a degree in Visual Art at The University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
She worked for a number of years in a non art related business, always painting in her spare time. In 2007 she finally gave up her day job and started painting full time.
Her canvases are mostly depictions of landscapes in the Monmouth area – the final image often bears little relation to the original subject but all have a common starting point – the memory of a place she knows well.
