High Summer an Original Painting by Rosemary Farrer. This is one of a new series of paintings I've been working on recently. Inspired by time spent drawing and making colour studies in a Piet Oudolf designed garden in Somerset. The colours and plant shapes were beautiful as well as the way they were planted in sinuous drifts and repeated through the space. A perfect evocation of high summer.

In the words of Georgia O'Keeffe 'I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn't say in any other way – things I had no words for. Rosemary Farrer is available online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Rosemary artists and printmaker sells with us online and in our art gallery in Stow-on-the-Wold. Rosemary paints in oils and also makes original prints. The prints are in no way copies of the paintings, they are conceived of, and made, as a response to the special and wonderful effects that can be achieved only through the various techniques of printmaking, whether it be the graphic, dynamic marks of a linocut, or the subtle tones and textures achievable in aquatint and etching. Design, composition and the use of colour are what excite her. She spends a lot of time drawing and painting outside, back in the studio, she will distil these ideas into strong graphic woodcuts, and linos or subtly textured etchings. Recent monotypes draw together the threads of her different media, with their graphic shapes and rich painterly colours. She studied fine art at Camberwell School of Art and The Ruskin School of Drawing, and learned printmaking at Morley College [London]. She has exhibited prints...

Crazy Garden is an original painting by Rosemary Farrer. The final painting in a series this evokes the moment when every plant is at its peak, in full exuberant growth.
