Judy Buxton’s paintings are abstract yet beautifully clear created by carefully placed mark making manipulating the layers of paint to form the most sublime seascapes, still lifes and equestrian portraits.

About

“This year after lock down ended I needed to get back to my source of strength, away from the closed-in space of house and studio, I revisited Poltesco on the Lizard Peninsular which had been the inspiration, catalyst for paintings some twenty years ago. During these years I had worked on a series of plein-air paintings of the cove, which were worked up into bigger studio paintings.

Once again, as if no time had passed, I found myself sitting on the same hard pebbles of all those years before, alone with the endless space of sea, sky, air, rocks and cliff occasionally visited by wild ponies for company making their way down onto the beach or peering over the cliff.

 The landscape filled me with new hope for existence, it washed over me, my senses heightened by my new sense of freedom, nature had not complied with the rules and was just as vital and unpredictable as it ever was.  I worked quickly and urgently, with palette knife and brushes.  A balancing act on the serpentine pebbles with the wind flicking paint around the air….” Judy Buxton, 2020
