This new pair of South Cotswold waterway paintings is typical of Angela's soft and romantic style - deceptively simple but actually complex in its perspective and lighting.
The perfect serenity of the scenes is enhanced by the limited palette, dominated by the artist's trademark blue, and the delicate sheen on the water.
Lying on the banks of the River Severn, the parish of 'Fretherne with Saul' has the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal as one of its boundaries. Along this canal you can find the Waterways Heritage Centre. Framilode, part of this same parish, was once the entrance to the old Stroudwater canal.
ABOUT ANGELA CASH
A professional artist, Angela grew up and has lived in the Cotswolds most of her life.
"Surrounded by amazing landscapes and history I am inspired to capture 'moments' in my paintings. In a world where there is so much negativity, I try to find a positive memory to reflect on, capturing moments of gentle normality."
She loves to paint interiors showing everyday life, garden views and still life, always trying to capture a certain light and atmosphere with a subtlety of colour and no hard lines. She paints a lot of commission works as well, again recording moods, memories and moments.
She usually works directly from the subject or from sketches made in situ, finishing them in her studio. Using watercolour and now, predominantly, oils, she prepares her own boards in a traditional way, covering them with calico and using rabbit skin glue with gesso which gives the soft texture she prefers.
Angela has painted for more than 30 years and has exhibited widely in the south of England, including the RWA, Bristol and many times with The Society of Women Artists at the Mall Galleries, London.
