Patricia Lane - Artist

I work in mixed media, The inspiration for much of my work is the Landscape of the UK and Andalucia, although as I live mainly in Derbyshire, the local landscapes have a strong influence on my work. My finished paintings are not necessarily an exact representation of any single place at any one time. More important to me is the essence of the landscapes that I see. I do record its physical features but what is really important are the memories evoked by a particular location; atmosphere, colours and textures, weather conditions, how I was feeling when I made the original sketch, who was with me etc.
