Art, inspired by nature

In each issue of RURAL we profile works by contemporary Jersey artists who draw their inspiration from Jersey’s rural environment. For this winter issue we feature a suitably wintry picture of a Jersey cow in a cold and snowy field

'Jersey Cow In Winter' By Rosemary Blackmore.

Rosemary described her painting:

'In this painting I wanted to portray the quiet depths of winter with soft snow falling, by the use of colour and texture .It is almost monochromatic with none of the rich warm colours seen in a Jersey cow’s summer coat, which I feel adds to the atmosphere of this wintry scene.'

The picture is oil on board, 40 x 40 cms. She will be showing it and other new paintings at a pop-up Christmas market in Brook Street, St. Helier, on 27 November and at her home gallery, Bluestone Studio in St. Ouen, on 28 and 29 November.
