Barbara King's annual solo exhibition will take place in September this
year in the village of Ringstead where the artist lives. Among the
paintings on display will be a collection of new landscapes capturing
the ever changing moods of the East Anglian skies. The marsh head at
Brancaster is portrayed with ominous blue-black storm clouds building
on the horizon; the fields around Ringstead are shrouded in the mild
mellow mistiness of an early summer morning and the agricultural
barns on the old Sculthorpe airbase hang as a backdrop to and autumnal
sunset. These places amongst others are employed as subjects to
explore the dramatic light and weather of the Norfolk coast and
countryside.
