The courtyard outside my studio if full of Spring colour and waiting for all who wish to visit during Cornwall Open Studios 2018 which begins on Saturday. I do hope lots of you will come along and see what is happening in my studio this year.
The water now has more definition and the plants are taking their final positions in this river-bank collage.
Having created the initial dye-work for the river, I am trying out the unfurling fern and mossy bank to see how the composition will work.
Ferns are unfurling all along the river bank and through the garden. Surely it is one of the most engaging sights of spring.
With the sweet scent of gorse reaching out from the cliff-tops, here is my latest textile collage. For more details http://amandarichardsonartist.com/content/gorse-and-bluebells-penberth
Bluebells are now emerging from amongst the gorse along the coasts, and in my collage.
I am preparing for Cornwall Open Studios which opens on 19th May and runs until 28th. I shall be open 11-5 each day except Tuesday and Wednesday. I do hope you can visit. To give an idea of the experience, here is a video I made last year.
A new video taking you an a walk along the tiny Penberth River while it flows through my garden among flowering trees.
Spring has finally clothed the landscape of West Cornwall with glorious silver and gold, and here it is in my art. For more information http://amandarichardsonartist.com/content/gorse-and-blackthorn-penberth-0
Cornish Spring flowers are finally filling the landscape with colour and I am preparing for a new collage. Silver and gold top our hedges and stretch across the cliffs. Gorse and Blackthorn are so lavish in their flowering and so very well defended with prickles and thorns.
