Welly Walk, 2016 by Helen Dryden
Walking about in mud and puddles in fields in North Eastern England. Acrylic on canvas.
All the time, I am thinking about painting. So even on a break to visit my family, I watched my step mother walk in the puddles, and thought about 'Blotter' by Peter Doig. Getting back to nature, and familial bonding is something we can all appreciate. I loved the light from the sky reflecting on the surface of the water, and the fact that a 69 year old woman could still enjoy walking in muddy puddles as much as a small child would.
