CRICKET FINE ART
It has been fascinating to follow Bridget’s artistic journey over the years. She has restricted herself to a limited range of subjects and these she has pursued with an enquiring mind and a delicate sensitivity. She is well known for her iconic walkers and shooting parties and her delightful flower and still life paintings. In her figure painting her grouping of people and their dogs have an artless ease that belies the care and concern she has for sound composition. The changing scale of her figure groups is always convincing and one is left with the strange feeling that they have only just passed you as they go onward. It is always fun to notice how Bridget has played an ever changing game with the colour of socks, the shape of hats and placing of walking sticks and gun cases and the keen eye she has for the characteristic way people walk. That her landscapes, fluid abstract shapes of flat subtle colour, combine to hold and stress the character of her figurative groups. It is a distinctive gift of hers and greatly to her credit. Her flower paintings speak of an excellent knowledge and ability to hold and set a variety of colour keys, so essential for a good painter. Again it is her ability to play with the colour, shape and form of flowers that give them the fresh appearance of having arranged themselves and thus becoming an endless visual delight. To compose forms well and use colour with distinction is a fine gift to possess. To do it so delightfully and with such a sense of enjoyment is a rare gift indeed. Bridget is to be congratulated that her work always gives such pleasure to all those with the eyes to see. Robin Child 2016
