Ian Hay was born in Harwich and studied at the Colchester School of Art before going on to the Royal College of Art, winning a prize for landscape painting in 1963. After a time as a visiting lecturer at the St Martin’s School of Art (1863-1977) and as a tutor at the Norwich School of Art (1971-1975) he spent many years teaching at the Colchester School of Art where he was Senior Lecturer in Drawing from 1978 to 2001.
In the early 1970s Hay began a series of drawings of scrap vehicles. The present work features a number of abandoned military and commercial vehicles which he spotted from a train window close to the railway embankment at Ardleigh. He later returned to the site and made sketches of the rusting, abandoned Second World War cars and lorries in their overgrown surroundings.
Hay is a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy.

- Blue ThumbergiaBy Christina HaglidLocated in Chicago, ILChristina Haglid Artist's Statement I used to write a lot of poetry, and it has shaped the narrative process in my artwork. Now painting has replaced writing. Objects in the painting are considered like words placed on a page. I use flowers, manipulated objects, and architecture together in compositions to symbolize the subtle conversations and interactions between them. They are placed in imaginary landscapes that are inspired by actual places and travels. All the paintings are watercolor and gouache on stonehendge paper, and they are made up almost entirely of individual brushstrokes.

- Canopy, Trees Emerging from a Vase, Botanical Watercolor & Gouache on PaperBy Christina HaglidLocated in Chicago, ILTree roots emerge from a vase to create a forest of trees in Christina Haglid's "Canopy". The artist invites the viewer to take a closer look at nature, to question what is seen and to enter into a newly created world. Meticulous in her execution, Haglid uses watercolor as one might use a colored pencil. Layer upon layer of color is added to achieve this impressively detailed painting. Christina Haglid Canopy watercolor and gouache on paper 11h x 8w in 27.94h x 20.32w cm CMH033 Artist's Statement Tiny Sanctuaries There has always been an intersection between the process of writing and the act of painting in my work. It has somehow been my guide. In the last four years, during the making of this work, that connection intensified as I started writing short stories and flash fiction while taking online classes. I find the process of writing and painting so different in almost every way, but there is something freeing and generative in writing which helps my painting process. Or perhaps it's a reminder of what painting is for me - something intuitive that needs to be trusted. And what they do have in common is a desire to encapsulate and distill a single moment, a story, about the complexity of our emotions and experiences. At the heart of my work is the recurring depiction of perseverance, strength of will, and a subtle optimism. Symbolically through the objects, precarious situations depict a moment of possible difficulty, often involving the influence of nature. A paper crane left in the snow. A boat nearly filled to the brim, but not submerged and able to drain its own contents carefully. A slide alone at...Category
