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.

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.

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...
