Larkin on TV – Basingstoke Canal Surrey Watercolour Landscape Painting by Woking Artist Colin Wood
Art, Painting Commissions and Prints from Surrey Artists

Larkin on TV
It is early Spring on the tranquil Basingstoke Canal in Surrey, England near my home. But where did that gorgeous crazy turquoise sky come from?
It was inspired from watching a televised interview with the celebrated English poet Philip Larkin in a churchyard (he liked exploring churches). I was struck by the artificial colours of the background rendered by the camera lighting.

About The Artist
I’m Colin, a watercolour painter based in Surrey in the UK.
For the past ten years, I have painted almost exclusively in watercolour, exploring its subtleties and unpredictability. I'm constantly astonished with what can happen with coloured water!
My contemporary, collectible artworks bring character and mood into your home, inviting both contemplation and quiet enjoyment. I paint what moves me, when it moves me, and share it with people who feel something similar.
I explore the landscape searching for ideas, moods, and atmospheres that resonate with me. I particularly like contre-jour or 'against the daylight'. I take many photographs - fragments of light, shapes, or details and combine them with borrowed elements to create paintings that are emotionally true rather than geographically true.
I try to choose titles that give a clue to the idea behind the painting and hopefully trigger discussion.
After this decade, I hope the care and depth of my work show in every painting.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
I owe much of my artistic development and showcasing work to local art clubs. Their expertise, experience and encouragement over the years has been absolutely key to finding my 'voice'.
Grateful thanks owed to: Saint Andrew's Goldsworth Park Art Group, Pirbright Art Club, Guildford Art Society , Chobham Art Group and Pirbright Painters.
I also exhibit with Village Artists , a collective of mostly Surrey artists.
