Chaffinch Garden Path

Chaffinch Garden Path By Jamie Poole
It is just a wonderful boost to the heart to see the flowers and the growth in the garden at the moment. It's May and all the plants are stretching out and getting into their stride at last. The flood of colour and vigour every time I go out in the garden to my studio gives me hope - nature and fresh air are definitely a great healers of our well-being. So with all these troubles going on we look forward and try to absorb all the good things around us and the garden, making art and being with my wife are just few things to be grateful for! 
I have wanted to paint a garden path and doorway like this for quite sometime as it brings together thoughts of home and the beauty of the world into one picture. I hope it makes you feel good too!

On the Allotment. May 03rd, 2020

The Joy of Digging on the Allotment.

The garden is for me a great source of joy, especially in these strange times of lock down and the Corona virus. During these times we have all had the time to sit and reflect - think back whilst also looking forward with hope and even a desire for change. I found myself thinking back to my childhood when I would visit my grandfather and we would sit in the garden or in his old rickety green house looking at the cucumbers and tomato plants. Sometimes we even visited his allotment where you could see make-shift potting sheds and rows of lovely vegetables. Those seemed like such happy, safe and comforting times that were care free  and they were really.
​
So whilst sitting here in my studio working on artworks or preparing online classes for my students at school or the adults I teach, I thought it would be nice to remember these times. I have made this picture using the words from the poem by John Clare called 'The Red Robin'. You can see old gardening boots a greenhouse and a man faithfully digging away in early spring. 

​These memories are a great comfort and remind us that normal times are just around the corner. I will be adding this picture to my calendar for 2021 and they will also be available as cards and prints too.

Autumn By The Sea - Art Classes Northamptonshire

Art Classes in the Autumn

This Autumn my art classes were busy making artworks based on the theme coastline and the sea! We had a fantastic time in Raunds, Irthlingborough and Denford covering colour pencil techniques, ink and pen drawing, acrylic painting working from photographs and other artists work.
In this slideshow are just a few of their results!
​
You can see some more of the artworks made by the class in the Student Gallery and examples of my Lesson Sheets here too. We spent some time looking at how to use atmospheric perspective in a painting and examined artists such as Kurt Jackson. 


​My next series of lessons begin on January 15th/16th 2020! Evening classes start on 30th January in Irthlingborough.
All abilities are welcome and you are welcome to come along and join in.
Contact me to book your place or ask for more details!
