Description

Sunsparkle on Porthminster mixed media on canvas 80 x 100cm Footnote: Before studying art at Homerton College with Kay Melzi (a pupil of Michael Rothenstein) Elaine studied the harp with David Watkins at the Royal Opera House, and in Paris with Solange ReniƩ-Siguret before receiving a scholarship to go to the Royal Academy of Music. Elaine and her partner Christopher Marvell share their time between their house and studio in St Ives in Cornwall and Cambridge. "To make a painting look simple and spontaneous is difficult. The more I paint the less I need on the canvas. Colours excite me and inspiration comes from the things I love - every objects, souvenirs from travels, patterns, and walking the romantic, wild countryside around our home".
