6. Martha Holmes
Autumnal Ochre, Zennor
42 x 31cm - Framed
Oil on Canvas
Painted in 2021
This work is a completely unique size and medium for Martha who typically works on board rather than canvas and typically to a very different scale. The work is also beautifully framed behind stained wood which parts way from her typical white style.

Notes
Martha Holmes is a painter living & working in Cornwall. She works both en plein air and from her beautiful Falmouth studio. Her paintings are a reaction to the coastal environment which has always surrounded her. She is frequently inspired by the abstract & modern direction many of the St Ives Artists brought to the west of Cornwall.
Fascinated by the shifting identity of both the north & south coastlines, her works show a response to the changing light, structures & colours that surround Martha whilst she paints.
Working directly within the landscape allows an immersive experience, which is reflected in the brush strokes & energy of her works. These are also the elements reflected within her still life studies.
