"Unwinding paths on Parliament Hill, London, 2012" by Deleted Artist

“There is nothing like taking a long walk at the end of a long summer's day under clear blue skies. Gradually, as you walk in companionable silence or while talking over the events of the day, the stresses and strains of the day begin to lift. This is a one off etching. I was aiming to capture the shimmering light at the end of the day and not until I had worked further on the metal plate, did I realise it had already been captured. The plate had moved on too far to bring it back for another print to be printed off the same.”

"Blue Lagoon Reflection" by Vicki Usherwood

“The incredible movement and colours reflected in the lagoon caught my eye, transfixing it on the abstract ripples surrounding the awaiting gondolas. Seeing this image whilst in awe of Venice as a whole, I knew I had to paint it and capture the mood and ambience of the scene.”

"Maneuver, 2015" by Simon Kirk

“I’m a big fan of haiku and the gentle playfulness that helps us view everyday life with fresh eyes. The inherent simplicity of my cut up text leaves a lot of room for the viewer to find their own meaning. The characters within the scenario is challenged with weird and impossible predicaments, and the viewer is asked to join him in confronting the strangeness.”

"Delta, 2014" by Alexa Aulds

“This paintings has links to synaesthesia, a truly fascinating condition often described as a “union of the senses” whereby two or more of the five senses that are normally experienced separately are involuntarily and automatically joined together. The subject of the painting is gazing at the symbolic geometry in front of her, however she can also be seen to be singing a melody, the tune becoming visible in the shapes suspended in the air.”

"Morning Mist #1, 2015" by Kerr Ashmore

“I have much love for natural landscapes and seascapes. I love those mornings when the mist is low and then as it begins to rise, it gives way to a beautiful day.”

"Uplands from Swansea Beach, 2015" by Emma Cownie

“I loved painting the variety of colours in this painting, all the sudden spring colours of April. The lime and blue-greens, purples and burgundies of newly sprouting leaves on various types of trees, the light pinks and oranges of fragile, floating cherry blossoms. Swansea is a leafy city and trees sprawl across the many sea-facing hills of Swansea. I tried to contrast this light, fragile, often transient colouring with that of the more concentrated, weighty, more permanent huddled terracotta houses and in turn with the sandy changeability of the sandy beach and wispy blue and white of the sea.”

"The Incorrect, But Happy, Bear, 2015" by Gabriel Böhmer

“Gabriel says he met this happy creature when going for a walk in some mountains. It seems the bear didn't quite understand the purpose of a backpack. However, he was extremely pleased with the one he had. "Oh well," Gabriel says, "one creature's bicycle is another's backpack. As long as everyone's happy, what's wrong with that?"”

“Spring is my favorite season, complete with lambs, buds, blossom and all its promise of what’s to come. I absolutely adore the delicious ethereal light and gentle mists!”

"Lilacs and Swallowtail Butterfly, 2012" by K Whitworth

“Few things smell as heavenly as a freshly blossomed lilac! One day while admiring this blossom and it's amazing fragrance, I was joined by this gorgeous butterfly who seemed to equally appreciate the pretty flower. How lovely to pause and enjoy such a moment.”

"Black. Teal. Yellow., 2015" by Doug Bachelis

“I like to work with bold colors and light. With this abstract piece I used spontaneous brush stokes applied in layers to convey a sense of movement and kinetic energy. Each color has a different brush stoke and technique, with the black lines providing continuity and connective tissue throughout the piece. While there is a lot going on in this piece, the minimal color palette also provides a sense of style and sophistication.”
