Latest Paintings

Here are my latest oil paintings that I have produced during my second year at university.
The theme is religion, family, and family photographs.
Some of the compositions of the paintings have been created using Photoshop.
The ideas and photographs to these paintings were posted in the post "Latest Ideas for Paintings" Post.
I hope you like them! Feel free to leave any comments

Hi Viewers and welcome to my blog.
My name is Amy Sharpe and I am a contemporary artist from London.

I am using this blog to present a collection of my art work over the years, during my practice as an artist. My paintings are mostly figurative and oil based.

Feel free to have a look at my work, revisit my blog, and contact me at any time, as I will be revealing my latest work, and ideas on a regular basis.

Thank you,

About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom
I am a twenty two year old contemporary artist from London, who has a passion for painting figurative work, with influences in Greek mythology, religion, culture and especially old family photographs. I am an Art and Design graduate from Leeds University where I am currently preparing for my degree show. My paintings have been described as very colourful, and that my work has a unique style about it, sometimes distorted with exaggerated character traits and expressions. I like to work from photographs using models who are close to me, family members, friends or even sometimes myself.
