REBECCA STYLES
Hawthorne, Hedgerow and Heath
FEATURED ARTIST
1st to 26th June 2024
Titled Hawthorn, Hedgerow and Heath, this collection continues Rebecca’s focus on creating landscape with landscape using local earth pigments, grit and charcoal within her oil paints. Inspired by ‘plein air’ sketches of Cornwall’s diverse heathland flora, from windswept hawthorns to sculptural succulents, these paintings capture the vibrant colour and pattern of hedgerows and moorland in the full bloom of summer. They take the viewer on a walk along remote rural lanes, over Cornish hedges heavy with wildflowers, past ancient stone circles and through heat-hazed fields of long summer grass, lush with foxgloves, buttercups, meadow thistle and wild garlic.
