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.

 The Mayor of Ruffec talked about the importance of Art to the Charente on Saturday 18th October 2014 standing in front of a selection of my paintings on exhibition at La Canopee in Ruffec .
 I was proud to be invited to exhibit by D. Retouret, former photographer for the Charente Libre, with four  French Artists from the region.
 It was a great success and there was a full audience to enjoy the event.

Le CaFeTiEre OrAnGe

 
 
I have been slowly working on this oil painting in my studio over the last few weeks. The orange enamel coffee pot was a present from a painter friend when I lived in Oxford and I found the large metal cafetiere in a junk shop. I love its facetted sides that allow me to create a shallow depth on an otherwise flat patterned surface.
