Studio View Blog: Latest Artworks, News and Inspiration.

This Blog ‘Studio View’ is a regular update of my new work, upcoming exhibitions, some work in progress images and photographs of what inspires me to paint.

My work is all about the ever changing light in the landscape.

Atmosphere is the sensation directed upon the viewer, whereas mood is the actual feeling provided”.

This painting carries a strong sense of movement in the sky, the gorgeous peachy tones rising and blending into the blue and grey, with just the faint glimmer of the day still lingering.

Could it be the ideal painting for you……..

Here’s another small abstract painting: Sunburst Morning

This painting is a very spontaneous piece that I always gravitate toward when the artwork is smaller. I particularly love the bright yellow brushstrokes, the lively interplay of colour and light, and the rich texture that gives the surface a tactile, expressive depth.

Would this fit your space………..

Sunlit Breath the ideal painting for that small space.

My inspiration comes from nature but the interpretation is guided by my own feelings and a personal response to the mood, colour and sense of space in the light combined with my own emotional memories.

Some more small paintings on paper

The freedom of small paintings is wonderfully different from larger canvases which demand greater concentration, careful blending and much more time. These small studies are much more spontaneous, colourful and usually more abstract in brushstrokes and composition.

My new little abstract landscape painting: Into the clouds

In this painting there are broader sweeps of colour and looser brushstrokes, so it is a much more abstract piece compared with many of my more recent works, conveying a more free and expressive mood, and allowing forms to suggest rather than define the landscape.

Can you imagine it in your own interior space……..

Stunning swirling colours and the warm tones of Evening Radiance

This is one of my impressionist sunset paintings and one of my largest at 102 x 76 cm, but it’s definitely a piece I really enjoyed creating.

I wanted to capture that dancing sky of endless sunsets, where colours appear at different times and rise upward, topped by a soft, glowing horizon.

A constantly moving scene.

Mary Burtenshaw Mary Burtenshaw

Lingering Sundown is one of my more affordable beautiful abstract paintings.

I often find it helpful to place a smaller painting in an interior setting so I can better imagine how it will look at different dimensions and within a variety of room layouts, lighting conditions, and alongside different furniture and décor.

Each painting that I sell I will be donating 10% to the Alzheimer’s charity in loving memory of my Mum.
