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.

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.
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.

Ingrid Skoglund is a mix of German and Swedish, although born in Ash in Surrey where she still lives and paints.
She has had a lifelong passion for watercolour although her main focus for over 20 years was as Managing Director of a demanding business. Selling out a few years ago, allowed her finally to take up painting full time.
Ingrid is pretty much self-taught, so doesn't have too many rules and loves trying to push watercolour to its limits - in particular to mix it with dye and foil to give a chaotic vibrancy . She also like to mix botanical accuracy with the abstract . She is currently building her portfolio of galleries and exhibitions and is amazed by the interest in her work.
Ingrid's website includes galleries of her paintings of views, animals, flowers, portraits and figures, acrylics and abstracts.
"I work unconventionally with various media to produce unexpected and unpredictable effects. I rarely use a brush and am currently working with the toxic fumes of alcohol ink and isopropyl although the beautiful translucent effects are worth it. A photo of the work just can’t capture it so if you like the image – the real thing is even better – just beautiful. I also often work with acrylic and silicone oil – pushing the mix around with a hot hairdryer and finishing off with a blow torch.
I don’t do cards or prints and I can’t replicate a piece of work . If you buy one of my pieces it’s not just original it’s totally unique. "

The tide runs full against the coast
The light glints and is then gone
amongst the sea rocks
Glittering and vast
