Acrylic On Canvas
In 2020, we faced restriction, having to exercise in your own area. It did serve to open my eyes. I walked for miles in places I had taken for granted, along unending towpaths, with beautiful views upstream - depicted on the canvas. As you walk round each bend, there is yet another unexplored pathway and even more panoramic views.
Sally Anne Wake Jones
Sally Anne Wake Jones studied art at London University College of Education. She had her first solo exhibition at the Century Gallery, Henley and has exhibited her paintings in galleries in the South East. Her work is featured in REGARD Edition in Paris. She divides her time between her art and the family business, Guinea Pig Education, which sells educational material all over the world.
Sally Anne, and husband Peter, a chartered surveyor by profession, share a love of the natural environment. For the last three years, they have worked together on canvases to create a unique collection of paintings that portray the historic parkland at Windsor Great Park. Painting “en plein air”, the paintings are inspired by the beauty of God’s creation: depicting the art forms of ancient oaks (a tree symbolic of divine providence); the cycle of life and decay; and the flat, wide landscape - that rolls on like the ever changing seasons. The paintings are large, spontaneous statements infused with light and express our worship and praise to our Creator.
They are frequent visitors to the South of France. The intense light of that region has influenced the bold use of colour and scintillating light effects in their work.
