GOING HOME oil on linen: Karina Rosanne Barrett 2023
“I have spent several years travelling up to Scotland’s rugged, sea-kissed East coast, to paint the architecture, nestled beneath the rich-red, rocky headland. It has become something of an obsession with me!”
So this weekend saw the launch of another fantastic Summer exhibition at RCA Conwy.
It’s always a highlight in my calendar; a rare occasion to catch up with fellow academicians (most of whom I only see a couple of time a year) for a chat and a glass of wine.
There is a diverse range of work in this year’s show. You can view the exhibition and find more about the gallery online: www.rcaconwy.org
Or, you can visit the gallery in person, from Tuesday through to Saturday.
Running in conjunction to this exhibition is a very special online SECRET POSTCARD AUCTION (details about this at further down).
THE RED BOAT oil on linen: Karina Rosanne Barrett 2023
I have four pieces available to purchase from the RCA Summer Show this year.
This set of paintings are the products of a trip made this February. We arrived in the wake of a storm, a storm which had made national news and knocked the power off in the village.
The fantastically high tides during our stay, sent waves crashing over the narrow walkways between the cottages and the sea.
In Winter, I have to work swiftly en-plein-air; the light fades early and the fingers start to freeze!
I expect the temperature may have influenced my palette for this collection of paintings.

AH, THE AWKWARD POSING FOR A PHOTO BIT!
