Hi, I am Carolyn of C.Walsh.art located in Southampton. I have always loved art and decided to started painting again around four years ago after a long break. I mainly paint on wood inspired by the beauty of nature using acrylic paint but during the festive season I love painting on these ceramic baubles bringing gorgeous wildlife to your tree. I love to use reclaimed materials where possible and try to be environmentally friendly.

Title or Location: John Coltrane
As a massive fan of all types of Jazz, one of the greats was John Coltrane. He could perform fluently in this branch of idiom called Hard Bop. He would seemingly ignore his accompanist to unravel long, steely, multi-noted solos that were stretching for a different context. He was a man restless for change and thirsty for fulfilment. He felt he had absorbed all that he could of his predecessors and contemporaries and after teh years with Dizzy Gillespie Johnny Hodgesm Miles Davis and Thelonious M

This painting contains a little story of mine.I was 17 years old when I made this painting.I didn't do any course or training, I just had a hobby and passion to paint because I found peace and spiritual peace, but this was only one of the reasons why I painted.The main reason I made this painting is because of the love I had for a girl in my school.? for a period of 6-7 years, we grew up together and she never knew that I was in love with her and even to this day she doesn't know the truth

Title or Location: Luminescent
I've been drawing portraits for as long as I can remember, and have always striven for realism and capturing the tiny details that make each subject who they are. I make my living from these realistic portraits but was always looking for something to set me apart from the rest. During covid and a break from commissions, I decided to reach for the bright colours that had been neglected I had always been drawn to. I used them as a base for portraits and always wanted to leave them at that stage.

Title or Location: Mystic
"Mystic "is an intuitive work in acrylic on canvas and measures 61cm sqr. It begins life as a few marks on a blank canvas and from then on each mark suggests the next one. This is how all my paintings evolve. I am obsessed with colour and composition which seems to come naturally to me. I know when a work is finished because it seems to let me know " there is nothing more to do here, it is time to move on" I listen to my work now, instead of my inner critic and it is wonderful to know I have cre

This piece depicts a woman with an exaggerated highlight, giving off the impression that she is basking in the sun. It is ultimately a tribute to the powerful black women I grew up around, creating and being part of the inspiration for why I create. It is a mixed media portrait, utilizing mostly colored pencils and pens.

Title or Location: A Place to Breathe
I wanted to create a place of tranquility and quiet. A retreat into nature where you can take a moment to breathe. There is a hush over the valley. The storm is over and the water quietly continues on its way much as it has always done. It is here I invite you to stay for a moment or two and rest.
