That Moment When You Glimpse the Sea

In the Moment

Pauline said “when we stop to gaze at a landscape our senses drink in the beautiful colours, textures, sounds and smells around us; putting aside the stresses of everyday life to be in the moment”. Through the use of light, colour and texture she endeavoured to capture the feeling of this precious moment in her paintings. Every walk whether it was on a beautiful beach or a local park, gave Pauline further inspiration for her paintings. Working from photographs and sketches, Pauline painted predominantly in oil which allowed her to build up thick and thin layers, soft and hard edges, smooth or textural marks.

Pauline was a generous and beautiful person, from the moment she joined the WSA Pauline designed posters for exhibitions, redesigned the Annual Exhibition Catalogue. Pauline will be sadly missed by everyone at the Walsall Society of Artists.
