Memories of Summer by Paula Nightingale February 2012
Coming to the Hanging Room at Woodcote Park in February 2012, we will be displaying original works from Paula Nightingale. Paula studied at the Royal College of Art under the direction of Mary Fedden OBE and then with Ernst Geitlinger in Munich, before traveling extensively throughout Europe and around the coast of the UK to capture and produce her beautiful oil paintings.
Paula loves to capture the splendour of a certain light; ‘When I paint the landscape or people in front of me, the spirit of the subject seems to flow through me onto the canvas, it embeds itself there through some process which seems to have very little to do with me. I am just the mechanical means that make it possible.’
Whilst her paintings sell the world over, Paula continues to live in a converted Boathouse in Norfolk, where she spends part of her year working in her studios or from her sailboat.
In association with the Advocate Gallery in Ashtead, we are delighted to bring you “Memories of Summer”, Paula’s latest collection of works, reminiscent of bygone summer holidays on the English coast or Norfolk Broads. Her work has a timeless quality and could as easily be a recollection of memories of our own childhood or last summer.
What better way to warm February than visiting this exhibition, which will be at Woodcote Park from 20 February 2012.
