Stillness & Life
Stillness & Life • Sally Stafford • Lynne Cartlidge
The shimmer and dance of wildflower meadows define Sally Stafford’s subtly dynamic and intricate paintings. Her subjects for this collection are found at Wiltshire’s Clattinger Farm, where some of the finest remaining areas of enclosed lowland grassland team with life, colour, form and texture; perpetually transforming with the seasons and tracing the year’s cycle. Sally’s new works immerse us in this precious, rare and unspoilt world, reminding us that we’re part of nature, not distant observers.
Elegantly complementing the meadowscapes are new paintings from Lynne Cartlidge. These exquisite compositions belie their apparent stillness with an interplay of fleeting light and shade, natural colour and effortless formal harmony. Transforming their domestic settings, Lynne’s paintings possess a radiant warmth and living presence.
