About Jane Elsworth

 
 
  • Biography
    I was born and brought up on a rural farm in Devon and have always had a great love of the countryside, the sea and  plants.  That is why I paint these things because if I am not there, I can at least, paint myself there.  

    I tend mainly to paint with oils but do also paint with watercolour and acrylic.
    I enjoy the use of colours and sometimes come up with the colour palette I want to use before the subject. Oils allow me also to put a lot of texture and so light and shade in my work.

     The sea is a favourite subject of mine. It has a magnetism with its ever changing colour, shapes and sounds.  I try to show in my paintings the feeling I have when I am there.  Another favourite subject is flowers which I like mainly to paint in a domestic context as bowls or vases of flowers.  As a subject they give great scope for colour and lots of texture!
