My latest painting is this little 20x20cm acrylic and silver leaf on canvas, “The Storm in the Distance.” #annabelcarington #storm #weather #paintingtheweather #landscapepainting #nightscape #silverleaf #nightpainting #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #smallworks

Four of my recent pieces; all large-scale works. My interest in the weather at the edges of the day is developing into an obsession and I can’t wait until I can get away again to some big skies. If you ever see me in a field, staring upwards, I’m not waiting for the aliens... . . . #skies #scotland #northumberland #northernengland #landscape #landscapepainting #contemporarylandscapepainting #clouds #skyscape #nightsky #night #nighttime #britishlandscape #bigskies

I love reading the writings of other artists; I’ve been reading this brilliant journal by Anne Truitt recently and I highly recommend it. She is utterly unpretentious and fascinating on process, practicality and meaning; running through her veins is a visceral desire and need to continually push the work forward. “The capacity to work feeds on itself and has its own course of development. This is what artists have going for them. From 1948 to 1961, I worked out of obsession, but obsession served by guilt: I felt uncomfortable if I failed to work every possible working day. In 1961, to my total astonishment, the guilt dropped away, replaced by an effortless, unstrained, well-motivated competence that I very soon was able to take for granted.” . . . #annetruitt #daybook #artjournal #artistsjournals #artistsdiaries #arthistory #historyofart #artwriting #writingaboutart #americanart #sculpture #20thcenturyart #womenartists #beinganartist

Four paintings from earlier this year. The sea is an endless source of fascination for me and I’m really looking forward to making some winter seascapes before the year is over. . . . #seas #seascape #seascapes #seascapepainting #silverleaf #thecoast #weather #modernbritishpainting #contemporarybritishpainting #originalart #britishcoastline #originalpainting

“And the storm approaches” is now finished. There’s a partial sliver of silver leaf along the horizon line - is this the silver lining? This is another large piece, 100x100cm, and you can scroll across to see it in a room. It’s fair to say I’m becoming obsessed by the weather, its power, and its effect on the seasons. . . #weather #storm #stormcloud #rain #originalart #landscapepainting #skyscape #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #artforyourhome #largeworks #originalbritishart #abstractlandscapes

Another work in progress. This is a big painting that will be full of snow by the time I’ve finished with it! #snow #landscape #landscapepainting #winter #rural #britishcountryside #countryside #britishcontemporaryart #modernpainting #originalart
