Sun-Barded Horse

By Jenny Mellings 2019
The first of a new series of paintings and other works made in response to events and encounters experienced whilst walking in South Somerset. This was one of many horse I have seen in the fields, covered up against the elements and ailments in the hot fields, but resembling something of a present day mythical beast or ancient horse in armour. Materials include oil paint and local earth. This will be included in the exhibition GROUNDED at Cotley Tithe Barn later in September as part of SAW 2019 (see events page for details)

Blue Boat Passing

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
