Jill Hobson Studio

Such a bonus on my art research adventure, to discuss figurative painting with a favourite u.k artist Amy Dury, in her working studio. What a treat! Thank-you Amy!

I thoroughly enjoyed painting this precious family moment of connection. I use my own sketches and photos as reference material and I made several initial sketches of this particular family. I also get a real thrill experimenting with new ways of merging or bringing figures closer to be more inclusive. I'm also attempting to metaphorically balance the internal and external experience here, as if the body were porous. I'm aiming to inspire togetherness and show the human condition in relationship to nature.

Have a contactful weekend everyone and hold your loved ones close if you're able.
