Jane Skingley Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

b. 1963
Jane Skingley paints seascapes and landscapes in oils. Her first exhibition was a huge success and since then she has gone from strength to strength exhibiting in galleries and art shows all over the country. In 2008 her work was selected from a long list of hopefuls to be exhibited at the summer season at the prestigious Glyndebourne opera house. Skingley’s mainly large scale paintings focus on the mood evoked by the sea. She spent much of her childhood sailing around the British coast, which remains her inspiration. She now enjoys pottering by the sea with her children, crabbing, rock pooling and making sandcastles at her family beach hut in the Witterings. Her paintings are notable in the way they capture the energy and power of the elements. Sometimes headlands or rocks are included as well as acres of wet sand. She works in the studio from photographs and sketches taken during trips and holidays. Working in oils, Skingley builds up layers of colour to achieve richness and depth. The paintings are produced instinctively, evoking mood and atmosphere rather than a search for realism. Paint is applied by brush, hand, palette knife and even by flicking and each painting takes weeks to complete all the layers.

By Amy Williams
Located in Toronto, Ontario

"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING", ink, pencil, gouache, found vintage book, poetry
By Amy Williams
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist works directly onto pages of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from page 186 to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text. The resulting poem reads "The wounded were coming / men that were scared / I felt the rain in my face / It was getting dark." – Hemingway's novel is a doomed romance between a wounded American soldier and an Italian nurse – note the feminine form on the page, with a "dress" or apron that looks skeletal, bloody and rained upon, all at once. From Amy Williams – "My recent work is focused on making treated book pages using a found vintage...
