DAZZLINGLY vivid interpretations of the North Yorkshire landscape by Lockton artist Sue Slack will be on show the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough from September 7 to October 8.
Sue’s show, Colourful Landscapes, will feature new works of distinctive trees against Yorkshire backdrops. “I’m passionate about the outdoors, whether it’s running, walking or cycling and whatever the weather," she says.
Into Low Horcum, by Sue Slack
"I have a sense that the deep knowledge of the landscape I am developing from running the land, feeling every bump, hill and rock through the soles of my feet, is increasingly reflected in my work. It's important to me that I ‘know’ the landscape that I recreate in my paintings."
Colour and shape are significant, be it a clump of trees on a hill or a field pattern that catches Sue's eye, she says. "The colours are those I see in the landscape, accentuated and re-adjusted as the painting progresses. The glow I manage to achieve in my finished paintings is a result of painstaking layering on of colour in acrylic paint," she explains.

"My present work, inspired by my favourite trees, is a departure from the acrylic paintings and will feature ink and mixed media as drawing tools.”
Colourful Landscapes can be seen in the SJT's gallery from 10am to 6pm, Mondays to Saturdays, except during show times. Entry is free.
