Charlotte Willoughby-Paul

Art is a lifestyle. I remember loving the freedom of painting at playgroup and in the garden as a child. As a painter and pianist, the essence of my artworks is to preserve moments of light and colour: dancing on the ripples of the sea as if to music; the movement of a peacock and it's splendid colourful feathers; the opening of a wild flower. I paint with acrylics and work quite quickly as a vision of colour comes to me, but I spend time to discover the balance of harmony and sometimes a colour waits until the end to bring calm and refreshment. My colour palette is vibrant and gives a dream like quality. "Colours have their own distinctive beauty that you have to preserve" Henri Matisse
