Our Artist of the Month for February is        
Beth Maitland

After my husband died I needed a challenge, and six years part time at Banbury College certainly gave me that.  Modern art does not like one to be ordinary, but mercifully I was allowed to paint nature in a greatly magnified form so that it became abstract.  Every painting had to be large but I drew the line at a metre so that it fitted into my car.
We painted in oils or acrylics and learnt about the colour wheel; cool and warm colours and where they should be in your painting.  Life drawing was important, learning to observe, measure and perspective.  These skills have stayed with me but I prefer to draw nature in its true format now.
