A Corner of a Field that is England Charles Hallsworth |
We are very pleased to introduce Charles Hallsworth as our Artist of the Week this week! Currently based in Dorset, Charles is an artist and a photographer. Inspired by Landscape and Water, Charles' work is varied and enchanting. As ever, we will be hearing from Charles himself throughout the week - although he is especially busy at the moment with a big exhibition, and preparation for Open Studios. More info on both of those ventures coming soon!
In the meantime enjoy this taster of Charles' work...

This has been a bit of an odd week to be Artist of Week - It started with recovering from a 2 week Exhiibition of paintings at the Bridport Arts Centre that went very weLl and had a good number of visitors. Having taken down the exhibits leaves one with a storage problem, particularly when pieces are 2x2 metres. Such large works look good but are a challenging to move about - we had to take one of the doors off it's hinges at the Art Centre to squeeze it in! And out !!! Then walking through Bridport with a large canvas raised few eyebrows.
ReplyDeleteHaving everything back to the studio leaves the challenge of re-arranging the hanging ready for the Dorset Arts Weeks, so this was the main task!
But then I also had to go judge a photo competition for a local club on one evening - very sociable evening and good to see some interesring pic's.
Unfortunately then I came down with flu, which I had been fighting for a couple of days.
After getting bored suffering bed I took my laptop to bed and searched thru' some photo sites and Q&A's on photography.. Don't often get the chance to do this but it was useful - read up some interesting stuff about white balance and getting sharper pic's not that they are related! So will play next week and get my tripod out - don't normally like using it!
Being laid up has also given me time to an a couple of outings for local photo shoots - these give me 2 opportunities - photos and paintings. Yes I carry both a camera bag and a sketch/paint bag in the car!!! My current theme is capturing Dorset Downland with under-tones of Thomas Hardy.
Roll on the long weekend!
