The Road less Travelled

Representing form and colour is easy but how do you convey the sounds, smells and salty taste of wild, dank places in the Western Isles or the sizzling heat of Greek coastal villages?

To Jean Feeney it's all about paint, its surface quality, texture, and the reverberation of one colour against another.

Taking as her title the theme of no turning back from Robert Frost's early 20C poem, Jean has produced a super collection of paintings for her second solo show at annanArt that finesses the artist's dilemma. The journey she makes? Well there are her travels in the Western Isles, Tuscany, Provence and the Greek Islands, but there is also a journey in each painting as she explores different paths to let the paint speak about her emotion for the landscape. View both journeys from here.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost 1916
