Ann Ardron's website

My aim is to give the viewer a real feel for time and place in a painting – not only “the view”, but the time of day, the weather, the light, the sense of how it would feel to be there. Although my work is representational, I find myself increasingly motivated to portray light and mood, as well as the scene I am depicting.

I paint mainly in acrylics, watercolour and pastel. Much of my work is landscape based, but I may take almost anything as a topic if I find it inspiring. I especially love to paint coastal views, trees, mountains, and the play of light on water. I am an enthusiastic sketcher, taking a sketchbook as well as a camera whenever I travel, and using the results as the basis for studio paintings back at home.

I find portrait painting very rewarding and have noticed that a painting often captures more of someone’s personality than a photograph does. I have completed a number of portrait and landscape commissions, and am happy to chat over the possibilities if you have something in mind.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy viewing my work.
