About the Item

Meet Me by the Harbour [2022] Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look Meet Me by the Harbour is an original painting by Mary Scott. This is an abstract painting in a minimal palette of cool turquoise, white and grey hues inspired by the weather and harbour at St Ives. Created with oil paint and cold wax, it includes 'sgraffito' textures created with a pointed implement and pencil marks, scratching through to coloured layers beneath the pale surface. Mary Scott artist and painter with Wychwood Art. Mary Scott paints abstract landscapes to make sense of her emotional response to, and memories of, wild places. Mary is influenced by her early career as a geologist, and in a busy world, she invites the viewer to slow down, and immerse themselves in space and time. Mary Scott's adopted home, Cornwall, and her journeys further afield, provide wonderful natural environments in which to walk, and to absorb and reflect on the landscape. Mary Scott uses a range of materials including acrylics, oils, cold wax, rock powders and natural pigments, to make responses which are fast and slow, bold and subtle, exuberant and quiet, capturing her feelings and memories over many layers. Mary’s approach is intuitively liberating, using both colour (or its absence) and texture freely and responsively. Mary is very conscious of our human smallness in space and time. In a fast-paced world, she finds herself reflecting on the enormity of geological time, slowing down my process to create a glimpse through windows into the past of these ancient landscapes which require nothing from us but stillness. Instead, we humans have imposed our will and errors of judgement, and she is disturbed by environmental degradation heaped on our planet. Mary borrows from the geological world to express this, for example, making marks to represent fractures, fissures and fault lines. In contrast, she uses loose shapes and embracing curves as metaphors for how the Earth has held and sustained life through time. Having recently undertaken a year-long progamme at St Ives School of Painting, she is currently developing her practice through participating in Newlyn School of Art’s ‘Professional Landscape’ mentoring programme. original Oil and Cold Wax on Cradled Panel Image size: H:51 cm x W:51 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:51 cm x W:51 cm x D:2cm Frame Size: H:59 cm x W:59 cm x D:3cm Sold Framed

Time Changes, Abstract Seascape Painting, Layered Gestural Geometric Painting
By Mary Scott
Located in Deddington, GB
Time Changes by Mary Scott [2022] Time Changes is an original work by Mary Scott. This painting is inspired by the deep sea, wide skies and changing weather here in Cornwall. Painted dominantly in blue and white, I wanted it to evoke that place between the sea and the weather, the elements in motion. Painted dominantly in shades of white and ‘Prussian blue’, it was created with many layers of oil, cold wax and fine rock powder with abstract expressionistic mark making resulting in a rich surface patina. The work will be framed in a dark blue tray...
