Beautifully Abstract

I recently read an article in Artists & Illustrators magazine on the painter Jennifer Durrant RA titled 'Bright & Beautiful'. Durrant has been a Royal Academician (RA) since 1994, as such she is recognised as having contributed significantly the development of Art in Britain.  In the article her works are described as being "large-scale abstract works of colour-driven, meditative intensity."  I am attracted to her work because of the joy of colour and her confident use of colour.  I was also taken back by the modesty and hardworking nature of her career.  Coming from a middle class background she was always hardworking and felt that she would do an apprenticeship and work away until she was recognized.  As a result, she has been steadily produced work since the 1960s.  A small bit of inspiration for the day.
