REFLECTIONS
​​PAINTINGS AND STUDIES BY RUTH BUNNEWELL
​

Opening Private View: April 4th 7 - 9 pm

I am fascinated by the feel of woods and forests, especially the darker side, as captured in Grimm's fairy tales, and in many ghost stories. In my landscapes, it is often the atmosphere and feel of a place that intrigues me, and that I aim to capture, as well as the aesthetics of the place. I find forests both simultaneously beautiful and uncanny and eerie. This is the essence of why I choose to paint them...trying to capture all of those qualities at once. It is the juxtapositions and contrasts that interest me. This is what draws me to forests; it is the contrast between the natural beauty of the individual trees, and the beauty of the natural woodland/landscape, with the uneasy feelings that can emanate, that is captured within fairy tales.
