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”.

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………..

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……..

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.

Still one of my favourite small paintings: Ochre Sunset

This acrylic painting shows a hazy Autumn sunset with soft yellow and pink clouds in the sky. Bright colours glow on the far horizon, while dark shadows stretch over the green landscape. ‘Ochre Sunset’ captures the brief moment when the sun sets, spreading a light mist over the hills as warm Autumn colours hang in the sky.

Could this become one of your favourites too?

Every sunset is different and every single one is unique.
Mary Burtenshaw Mary Burtenshaw

Every sunset is different and every single one is unique.

I endeavour to capture a unique essence in every painting, whether there’s a subtle touch of abstract or my impressionist style, you can hopefully imagine having witnessed a sunset like that or feel inspired by the thought of experiencing such a moment.

This painting would fit perfectly in any interior space and would be calming to look at every day.
