I like to paint French scenes like a lot of people I have visited many beautiful places in France. š«š· Last year we had a few visits to Franceā staying in Cherbourg a fascinating city.In terms of its great port, umbrella museum and good bars. The art museum is well worth a visit. I do intend to paint my version of the photograph I took below during April 2025.https://www.cherbourg.fr/culture-et-loisirs/musees/musee-thomas-henry/
Yellow House( 2025)
this painting was originally just a field of random colours.The. I remembered reading as a child a book about a man who repainted his house a different colour for every season.Ut gave me the idea for the āYellow Houseā obviously representing summer. The painting is acrylic on paper A4 size.
This artwork was painted after several holidays to Normandy and Brittany last year. I adore the brightly coloured beach parasols. I designed my own type of parasol I particularly like the purple stripped one.Itās a shame they have never caught on in UK. The picture also has my husband myself and our large black cat Sidney. The painting has been used for invitations.
Exeter is a city I have worked in before I retired so I know it reasonably well. Earlier in the week I decided to have a in-depth visit to the cathedral. I wasnāt disappointed. The colours, history and stonework is an artwork that is difficult to capture. when I am brave enough I will attempt a painting of this photograph
Bin or not to bin that is the question
I often have no clear objective in terms of subject matter sometimes I am desperate to paint a scene or object.
More often than not I manage to achieve a painting but sometimes I am really not sure if a painting would be more suited to the bin ! This painting of the coast path is a such a painting. Regardless I am putting it to one side and considering my options.
After consulting with my mother I have figured out a way to alter the finger post so watch this space.

This painting is an early birthday present to my lovely friend from Hamburg. The bright blue is a keen spring colour. I liked the idea of the vase and flowers captured in a box. I hope Beate likes it .

There is real pleasure in painting flowers and old fashioned vases.Its a free movement just picking colours in the moment then just throwing shapes at the paper. With no set plan. I like the contrasting colours in this painting.Acrylic on paper.If you would like to see more of my artwork/pictures visit : www.art-a-moi.com
I like painting many different scenes, flowers and animals. I am acrylic painter but this recent picture is quite a stripped back painting for me almost looks like a watercolour artwork.I am leaving it as it is despite being encouraged to put boats or birds in the scene. I like the simplicity of the scene. Wide open spaces promote tranquility.
Where is it ? Well that is a good question I will let you decide. Uk south coast or maybe somewhere in France? š«š· Painted on canvas with acrylic paint.
Lazy Sunday Sea (2026) by Danielle Wootton. Acrylic on canvas. If you would like to see more of my artwork/pictures visit : www.art-a-moi.com
I visited the Russell Cotes Museum and Art Gallery in Bournemouth. My favourite museum and art gallery in Dorset. So many paintings to love but this time the āA Lions Headā by Haywood Hardy (1842-1933) also caught my attention. Oil on canvas.
I love the directness but at the same time the soft vulnerability portrayed in the use of brush strokes and colour palette. A soft feeling comes out of the painting giving a strong presence.
