Award-winning artist, unveils her brand-new body of oil and watercolour paintings at this summer. The new paintings have been inspired by the iconic National Trust site. ‘The title of the exhibition, is a nod to Turner, who regularly visited and painted Petworth,’ Lucy explains. ‘His work featured sunsets and sunrises in both watercolour and oil. As a landscape painter I, too, wanted to capture the cycle of a day at Petworth. From its dreamy sunrises to its gentle and dramatic sunsets.’ Lucy begins each of her paintings sketching in watercolour and oil, before finishing them in the studio. The resulting images are dynamic, free interpretations of the landscape. ‘Walking round the show is a bit like exploring the park and gardens,’ she writes. ‘There are leafy quiet spots through to majestic sweeps of wildness; some tight and busy areas and some more relaxed open areas.’
