Eleonora KnowlandThe quality of colour in the East Anglian landscape is a continual surprise to me. I am delighted by how differing states of light can pick out a particular colour in an unexpected place.
Freezing fog rising from frozen water-meadows in front of a burning sunset, shadows from winter trees before a calm stretch of water just as the last glimpse of sun is seen disappearing behind a bank of clouds, icy blue light falling on snow defined by the black weather-boarding of a barn all produce exciting contrasts of colour that are as unexpected as they are brief. It is these delights that inspire my work, and although at times the colours look far from the greens and browns we think of as landscape, they are all there waiting for a pause in our busy lives, a period of tranquil observation, before we rush on.
