Lynda Minter

My work is about atmosphere and changing light.  I live near the Thames in Fulham and the ever changing skies and reflections on the Thames are my inspiration.  Recently I have been working on atmospheric scenes of hills in Ireland , Spain , Germany and Scotland.  I find an ordinary view can be completly transformed by light.  I work from drawings and notes and some photography. Before painting I make several trips at different times of day and get to know the area intimately so when it comes to using my large brushes in my studio I paint by instinct and memory  helped by listening to music, and as a result I often make a note of the score at the back of the canvas.  I prefer to work on fine linen  and  use good quality paints.   Each painting is approached completely differently:  that's what makes painting so fascinating .
