23rd April 2026. Added an augmented reality (AR) layer to the poster. This involves making a video layer of some sort, in this case a music track and a shower of spring green leaves, and applying it in an app … Continue reading Diary of an Exhibition
This is a small, long-standing lake that may have been natural (it’s located in an area of wetland in the village) but that has been reinforced at its edges to create paths in what’s become a new nature reserve. It … Continue reading Crater Lake
Warflowers 2026. Water-soluble oils on 76x101cm canvas. This is a re-used canvas, the dark green landscape area at the bottom being part of the original, which was probably in acrylics. Context. There is conflagration in the Middle East, Israel having … Continue reading Warflowers
This is the last month of the time-out trimester and I have an ineligible cat painting on the go. I’m using up non-preferred canvases which, inevitably, is leading to some useful changes of style and approach. But first, a pixelation painting just in case focus and resolution become problematic, I’ve got in first. Pixelate 2026.Water-soluble oils on 30.5×25.5cm canvas. Not eligible. Cat scratch 2026. Water-soluble oils on 20×12.5cm canvas. © Suzanne Conboy-Hill 2026 Continue reading Collecting a collection #2
Flat, uninspired, bland. Maybe it was the rain and the sky looking like the bottom of a bucket. Whatever, I took brush to canvas without really thinking about it and the result is above. It feels better; I’ve tackled the … Continue reading “Delusions2”
6th November, 2025. A lucky misquote of the original, which suggested that building it would attract unspecified kinds of ‘he’, and that isn’t what you want in a back garden. This building involves ponds, which I put in not long … Continue reading “Build it and they will come”
Both of these are from my own photos. The first has been abstracted by layering and scraping, thereby revealing evidence of the earlier painting, which contributes both colour and texture. Clearly very different in style, I made these alongside each … Continue reading Stylised shrubs and misty, foggy river bank
Unfortunately, I can’t remember which ones! In this series, I’m painting over old pieces that no longer have relevance and so they come with their own underpainting. This is another 6×8″ canvas. I’ve done a lot of finger-blending with this … Continue reading Fields at Beeding
I’m not sure why I couldn’t find the early-stage iterations yesterday, but here is one of them. It may be another example of my tendency to skip over the more painterly stages and go straight on to the dramatic. That … Continue reading Adur river bank – view across the fields
This is probably the smallest canvas I’ve ever painted, and I can say for certain that I’ll never paint anything this size again! Water-soluble oil paints on a 4×6″ canvas. The image, which is wholly in my head, probably originates … Continue reading Clouded Moon
