Join me @helenalicejohnsonartist this week at Redlees Open Studios in Isleworth, London as I show several of my 2022 large abstract Garden paintings as well as some 2023 smaller abstract paintings based on Rivers from en plein air starting points

Join me this week as I visit a church in Corbridge to plan for an art exhibition in 2025, pack up a large oil painting for America and get ready for Open Studios in Isleworth, London. Another packed week but I managed to find a little painting time in amongst it all!

This week I have continued to struggle with my large abstract painting inspired by Honfleur - with three versions on the go at the same time! I have also taken some time for some en plein air painting - always good to get out into the countryside, but it also puts me slightly out of my comfort zone - which would definitely be in the studio for me.

Join me this week as I begin to get my head around the painting based on a visit to Honfleur much earlier in the year. This large abstract painting is finally beginning to take shape and I am looking forward to sharing the journey with you.

This week I am out and about in Brighton and London. A busy week exhibiting art work, then delivering large abstract paintings to The Old Cinema in Chiswick for sale, as well as working en plein air for my next abstract landscape inspired by Kew Bridge. Join me for a quick look at what I've been up to!

This week I am in Brighton for The Cab Run 2 art exhibition, run by Do Not Obstruct Gallery. Join me as I prepare for the exhibition as well as delivering my large colourful abstract paintings and garden diptychs to the tunnels underneath Brighton Railway Station. The exhibition is full of contemporary art and a fabulous selection of artists
