Boulmer Cottages inspired by Joan Eardley

I so enjoyed painting this of Boulmer Cottages, inspired as I was by reading a biography about the amazing artist, Joan Eardley, who died far too young at the age of 42 just as she was reaching the height of her powers.

I very much decided that less is more with this painting and like the way it almost painted itself, without too much interference from me!

I dedicate it to the memory of Joan Eardley 1921 - 1963
