I saw that there’s an exhibition of Jennifer Austin’s porthole seascapes in the Orkney Museum, Tankerness House and I thought…Portholes – Portals – The Sea – The Sky – Oh My! …and worked my days around being able to go to see them
Approaching the door to the exhibition-room, we see ‘Sun Down Shimmers’ in the distance – a taste of what’s to come
Walking clockwise round the room, I’ll present the images which most appealed to me – a purely personal preference.
‘Moon Jellies’
‘Sun lit’
‘Moon lit’
‘The Returning Tide’
‘Sun Down Shimmers’
And finally ‘Sea light – Blue Velvet’
This is actually printed onto the light fitting – imagine!
These images, and how they’re presented, did me good. They’re the kind of art-work that takes you out of yourself and into clear, open spaces to help to clear your head. Very much needed in these times.
It’s not a big exhibition – but it’s full of light and LIFE – beautifully lit. Itruns until the 25th October.
