Claire Thomas

Paintings

Claire paints in Watercolours and oils and finds that they compliment each other beautifully. On trips out into the Dorset countryside her watercolours are perfectly suited, enabling her to further develop the image in oils back at her shed. When initially beginning portrait commissions, it is the watercolours that are first used and then again the later progression into oils.

Claire sees her work as being balanced by her love for, and the freedom, landscape painting allows, compared to that of the portrait painting,where she has also explored the more grim realities of dementure.
