About this artwork
The phrase ‘sumptuous contentment’ was one my psychotherapist used to describe what I was missing in my ‘rushing onwards’ to the next project, rather than basking in the warm glow of completion. I often reflect on her observation and now intentionally make time to be ‘in the moment’ with the good stuff that happens at the end of an event, whether it be an art project, a holiday or a friendly chat. Sumptuous contentment is a state of mind. It has…
an emotional component: something of the joy of accomplishment, perhaps even love.
Summer Lovin’ is a lyric from the film Grease, which had a strong impact on me as a child. It reminds me of warm, summer fun. I made this painting during a heatwave, after a fabulous camping trip.

« 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.
