It was getting a thorough look at nature that  I realize where thoughts come from. Light and shade and the very many color tonalities created through the sunshine are actually saying that there's no steady form, as there's no steady reality. 

These scenes are the results of wandering about in Guernsey and listening to light and shade dialogues on a dream-like field, I think.

                              




Perhaps the point of war is the utter impossibility of dealing with the beauty that surrounds me;  perhaps if I wouldn't paint I'd wish to destroy what I see as it does deeply touches me.

About what it will be

This blog belongs to the artist Marlene McLoughlin, where she will show a large set of her work done after spending a wonderful week researching Guernsey's nature and wild life, which gave her inspirations for hundreds of watercolors.

The watercolors were commissioned for the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society book.

For the time being, you can see much of her work here: www.marlene-art.com

Please stay tuned!
