Just wanted to share images of two large paintings I recently completed. I love working  large scale and am so pleased with these paintings.

Let me know what you think?

Time to share another painting with you. :-)

This large diptych, called ‘Beyond’, continues my current interest in incorporating collage in my work.

In a gorgeous palette of burgandy, copper and gold, this finely detailed and textured painting offers many interesting paths for your eye to take…

Please share your thoughts and comments about my art.

New original abstract painting: Synergy

Mar 302010

I absolutely loved creating this painting called Synergy.

Those who have been following my work for some time will know that I occasionally work with collage on paper. But here I have combined the collage with my signature texture and geometric detail over a much larger surface on canvas.

I will be showing this painting at the Reading Contemporary Art Fair on 24-25 April 2010.

Look out for more pieces in this theme coming soon.

As always, I would love to have your comments about my work.

New original abstract painting: Éclat

art by Jayne Leighton Herd No Responses »
Mar 232010

This painting is called Éclat, which in French, in this context, means ‘burst’. To me this French word fits the painting better than the English equivalent (possibly because I speak as much French as English each day!).

I showed this painting at the Press Launch of the Reading Contemporary Art Fair yesterday (more about that in my next blog post) and got lots of great feedback.

Several people at the launch asked me what had influenced this work. And the answer to that is something which is currently causing me considerable concern: the proposed development of all available land surrounding the area I live in. Not only will we lose further green spaces and countryside, but the local infrastructure is already over-stretched before this new construction even takes place. At what point will complete saturation occur? In my artwork an urban bursting-point is reached in abstract form!

I would love you to share your thoughts on this work with me below.

Introducing ‘Revelation’, my first work of this new year, 2010.

I know, I know – it has taken me a while to post photos of it here, but I have been so busy creating lots of exciting work for upcoming exhibitions and commissions. :-) I will have lots to share with you over the coming months.

This painting is on a larger canvas and features intricate detail and sweeping energy. What does it reveal to you?

Comments, as always, are welcome.

So before I start posting images of my new work for 2010, I still need to share one final painting from 2009.

This painting, called Fascination, was particularly admired at my solo exhibition last year, by those who love purple and shiny objects. :-)

Unfortunately, the photography just doesn’t do this painting justice, but I still want you to see it, so here it is:

I love creating paintings comprising several canvases. I have produced many diptychs and triptychs before, but this was the first time I have painted a pentaptych.

Called ‘Leaving a Trace’, it was another of the new paintings that I unveiled at my solo art exhibition, ‘Sight & Touch’ in October 2009.

I hope you enjoy my interpretation of ‘celestial bodies’, which are natural objects situated outside of Earth’s atmosphere, such as the Moon, Sun, asteroids, planets or stars.

This painting will be exhibited for the next two weeks (until 8 August 2009) at the Wokingham Art Society Summer Exhibition.
