Doreen: Capturing Memories in Lightning

She draws on a combination of memories and experiences, weaving them together to inspire and shape the details in her work.

Doreen has recently created this beautiful atmospheric landscape painting. The painting shows a landscape of snowy hills stretching into the distance, illuminated by neon lightning forking across the sky. Doreen has cleverly used a wash technique to give the effect of the lightning casting its vibrant glow onto the hills below.

When creating her paintings, Doreen prefers to works from her imagination rather than using a reference image. She draws on a combination of memories and experiences, weaving them together to inspire and shape the details in her work. In this piece, Doreen found inspiration from the Yorkshire Moors, a place where she has fond memories of visiting friends and climbing to the top to take in the views. The dramatic lightning was inspired by a family trip to Italy, where they watched from afar as bolts of lightning forked across the sky in striking hues, lighting up the city below.

Isn’t it a stunning painting? It beautifully captures the power of art to reflect on cherished memories.
