Thank you for sharing 😍#Repost @nsanewlyn • • • • • • Penwith Keeping in touch with our members during this period of lockdown, here are some paintings and drawings by Suzy Sharpe. Suzy shares her positive approach to being an artist in lockdown: “Someone suggested thinking about this confinement as a residency... I have just started with this, I have no idea where this will lead but I have enjoyed gathering some images, drawing things i would not normally draw...my "stay at home artist residency" ... I am finding that my greenhouse offers me a positive and useful 15 minutes or so each day ... I am struggling with finding the purpose for doing things most challenging, as all my exhibitions have been postponed, however i am beginning to realise that i have been social isolated for as long as i can remember! I have also been drawing my sheep Desmond et al (I only have 6) who seem to have a bit of a following... they seem to raise people’s spirits at this time... I have attached a few of those images also... I personally find time spent with my sheep, drawing them (mindfully so not too much pressure!) is very beneficial if I start to catastrophise which I am a little prone to from time to time.” @suzysharpeart @nsanewlyn #mixedmedia #watercolour #cornishlandscape #rurallife #sheepfarmerartist #contemporarycornishart #sheep #drawingsheep #artistresidency #artistsinlockdown #artistsoninstgram #newlynsocietyofartists
