Francesca has had another busy year of painting en Plein air and in the studio, as well as teaching, and designing and leading workshops.
Her work continues to develop, getting looser and more lyrical, catching the moments of light and the changing seasons. Such moments in the landscape are precious - when the place, the time of day, the sunlight, and a good spot to park the car all coalesce to form a potential painting - and then it has to happen! Not easy! This year's exhibition contains new work and some from the previous year, as well as new giclée prints of old favorites. Francesca also has work in The University Park Cricket Pavillion Venue 26 with Emma Colman-Jones. Her anual Ashmolean project (venue 5) is also all about painting 'en Plein air' and showcases work done during a community event in Florence Park.
