A Small Book of Drawings

I have published a small A5 book of drawings (48pp) to sell at the Leamington Music concerts through this autumn for £10 or direct from me from Contacts page on my website http://www.janewilliamsartist.co.uk .

Selected from my many sketchbooks, the drawings were made in the many wonderful concerts promoted by Leamington Music over the years.

Here are a few random pages

Paintings from socially distanced concerts October 2020

Audience Hungry for Live Music. Elias Quartet at Holy Trinity, Leamington October 2020 acrylic on paper 24 x 18″ (framed 30×38″)

These paintings are an attempt to express the experience of the first live socially distanced concert after many months of ‘drought’. The audience are monochrome (empty) and the musicians are in colour, their music is colour filling the space – and hopefully the audience.

Fitzwilliam Quartet celebrating Richard’s 80th acrylic on canvas 30×24″

Socially distanced concert at The Dream Factory Warwick in October 2020

‘Covid’ Concerts

Last Autumn Leamington Music succeeded in putting on a concert in Holy Trinity in Leamington and The Dream Factory in Warwick – all carefully planned and socially distanced.

I thought I should make a record of these unusually socially distanced concerts.

Am working on making paintings from these two drawings.

At the Dream Factory, Fitzwilliam String Quartet celebrated Richard Phillips’s 80th birthday with some wonderful music in the very atmospheric venue. two rows of seats surrounded the well lit string quartet in the middle. It was very dark so my drawings were a bit of a scribble.

I made a painting to commemorate the event
