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 Mois de Mai 2018

 Early May 2018 we visited Madrid to see El Prado and Museo Reina Sofia. Guernica in the raw ! The breathtaking Velasquez's  and Goyas ! And many other stunning greats such as Van Der Weyden's >the Descent from the Cross<.
 I sold two paintings on our return one inspired by the recent experiences and one that began at a hotel breakfast table overlooking La Seine at La Bouille. It was near here that Camille Pissarro painted >Le Coup de Vent< in 1877.
 Today my studio is fresh with an expansive pink geranium and elegantly frilled tulips after yesterdays Birthday lunch for dear friend and wonderful painter Shani Rhys James.
