Artwork Description:

Title: Impressions of Hopton Hall

Acrylic paint and charcoal.

Inspired by the beautiful gardens at Hopton Hall for their ‘Month of Art’ event.  Many vistas to choose from but I fell in love with the statue emerging from the allium seed heads like a magical creature.

Artist Bio:

Hello, I’m Carol, a self-taught mixed media artist. Born and raised in Paris, France, I now live in beautiful Amber Valley, Derbyshire. I mostly work with acrylics and inks.  Depending on my mood I either revel in the joy of  bright colours, or brood in dark greys and blues.  My current work is a mix of semi-abstract cityscapes and landscapes born out of my travel memories   When not painting, you’ll find me in the garden sowing, planting or harvesting.
