About Me

My photo
Dans sa peinture, Jane Courquin invite a une balade champetre, fleurie et tout en douceur et lumiere. Sa carte de visite artistique est bardee de diplomes et de ctitiques elogieuses outre-manche et en France. Courquin et son conjoint Nichollas Hamper, tout deux peintres professionnels britanniques, se sont installes a Verteuil-sur-Charente en 2005. Ils ont achete trois granges en ruine, au Coeur du village. Ils les ont patiemment transformees en une tres belle maison mais aussi en ateliers spacieux, ou ils vivent et travaillent.

Le BaNc 2015

 
Its been a pleasure to participate in the Artistes et Compagnie project for 2015. I was first invited to the project by Dominique Retouret in 2014 to paint a homage to Monet's Waterlilies series alongside a small group of French and Belgian artists.
This year I was commissioned to work in full liberty from my own paintings. This is the resulting bench painted over a long weekend in full sunshine.
I was most thankful to the residents living opposite who kindly appeared with trays of fresh mint tea and Algerian patisseries and fresh dates whilst I was painting. My thanks also go to a local 10 year old girl who came to watch me work and to other friends who stopped by to show their interest and support.
