About the Item

Down to Porthtowan is an original painting by Eleanor Woolley. This painting was painted Plein Air on the footpath down from Mount Pleasant Eco Park. It shows the lovely heather banks of the old copper mining area. Their russet tones depicted here in magenta and ochre. The little town of Porthtowan can be see in violets in the distance. Heading out to see are stripes of blue and again magenta in the sky. The narrow path is enveloped in gorse which scratches your legs as you walk down amongst the heather.

Her first true love for painting came from an inspirational Art teacher at Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls where she started painting in Oils at thirteen years old. Here she learnt to paint using classic oil painting techniques, and was drawn to the figure from early life drawing lessons. During this period she was fortunate enough to work under Mary Fedden in her studio and with Portrait Sculptor Peter Lambda with whom she further developed her technique and composition. After gaining her BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University Eleanor travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study Furniture making. Eleanor worked as a Cabinet maker and a Restorer before returning to Fine Art painting. Eleanor’s inspiration is taken from her surroundings where she has a love for the every day things, often passed by without a second thought. Eleanor’s paintings are vibrant, often painted Plein air and finished in the studio. Starting with bold outlines, many layers of paint are used to create the depth of colour. Her paintings are spontaneous, using washes of oil to create the desired form. Often finishing with a palette knife producing a pleasing texture. Her current work is inspired by the landscape of the Cotswolds, and contrasted with long shadows created by figures in urban landscapes.

Whitesands III was inspired by visits to Whitesands Bay – a stretch of coastline where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Pembrokeshire cliffs, beneath the wild moorland of St David’s Head...
