Sea series, by Tricia Scott
The following images are from two series' by Tricia Scott, our Artist of the Week. They reflect her passion and interest in the sea: it's strength, it's powerful energy, that is both a constructive and destructive force. Sea Worn and Sea Weathered are both featured on Tricia's Shed Profile, where all these images can be bought in a range of sizes.
More coming from Tricia this week, so don't go far!

Artist of the Week: Tricia Scott
This week, our celebrated Artist of the Week is photographer Tricia Scott! Tricia is based on the Jurassic Coast, Dorset, and introduces herself below:
"I draw my energy and inspiration from the sea, its unpredictability, texture, play of light, reflections, colours and power. Growing up on the Suffolk coast, a stone’s throw from sand, sea and ships has given me a deep love respect for all things connected to the sea.
For me it is a photographer’s paradise, the way the sea continuously shapes and changes the coast, the bountiful treasures it washes ashore, the marine life, and sailing vessels. Now living on the Jurassic coast the photographic possibilities are endless.
My aim is to try and due justice to all of these elements through my photographs, from abstracts, coastscapes, to trying to capture the feel of a high sea swell."
-Tricia

We'll be hearing more from Tricia throughout this week, and also showcasing more of her work. So watch this space - and if you can't wait, visit her Shed Profile in the meantime to have a sneak peek!
Pinhole Photography by the dustmen of Hamburg
This is a brilliant photography project we came across on the Guardian website - where dustmen in Hamburg have made pinhole cameras out of wheelie bins and taken some brilliant photographs!

A few words from Charles Hallsworth, our Artist of the Week
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.
Having 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!
