About this artwork
Inspired by daily mindful walks through the same few fields near Brighton, Sussex, and drawing upon research into myth and ancestry, these paintings are a visual description of a physical journey, an inward journey and an imagined journey.
Litha means midsummer and is a painterly response to a damp midsummer walk. The raspberry red and soft warm greens are a reflection of the colours in the landscape under a white sky.

« My work is an inquiry into simplicity, harmony and emotional response – paring things down so that emptiness, form, color and light are held in balance, and the overall result appears effortless. »
Michelle Cobbin is an accomplished British painter whose work has featured in prominent shows throughout the UK. There are several recurring themes that are important to her: simplicity, harmony and emotional response. Implicit in all her work is an idea about connective awareness: seeing things in relation to things. For Cobbin, this links to the traditional definition of ‘mindfulness’ as an alert, receptive awareness that brings a quality of breadth to experience.
