She’s soft and squishy in a kind of marshmallow way. Beautifully painted and the kind of gal you can disclose your thoughts to her confidential ear. She’s discerning about whom she bestows her confidences to though, the door to her […]
Leaves scatter in the wind and come to rest on the doormat. She blinks, smiles, opens her shutters and the world seems a brighter place. Come To Rest Door (mixed media painting on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) Shop: https://www.lynneforrester.com/store/p533/Come_To_Rest_Door.html
Nestled amongst random facings there’s a faint outline of what lies behind the stone exterior. Sparkling light leads and yet scatters the eye as this door does her best to hide her brilliance – look closely to find the jewels. […]
Can you give a sunshine glow from under the eaves? This door is giving her all to see if those walking past step a little lighter and brighter when they glance in. Just making her own difference in the world […]
She’s a magnetising harmoniser whose entrance sits on a corner. Being beautifully festooned when she can be and making the most of what she has is her main wish. Her paint is bright, as are her flowers and smile. Magnetising […]
Flames of vibrant energy flow from her every hinge and surface, like a pot of power at the end of a rainbow. Vibrant Door (mixed media on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) Shop: https://www.lynneforrester.com/store/p529/Vibrant_Door.html
Plants always grow near her and people gravitate towards the inviting ramshackle warmth that her constant glow emanates. She listens, infuses with uplifting energy and they feel nurtured. Who nurtures her? Does she have someone to turn to? Invitation Door […]
It’s been almost a year of hibernation and the undergrowth has excelled in developing mossy moments over all available surfaces. She’s resolved to sit amongst the protection of those green depths – but always wears the brightest of hats to […]
Her beautiful brilliance is set back a little from the main hubbub of life, yet there’s no doubting her cool knowing once her blue hues catch the eye. She could be easily written off as an ice maiden unless you […]
It’s been a day of turmoil in so many ways and her mind is threatening to let all those judgements take root, change her colours, make her fade. She unwinds her hair, sees a sparkling glisten in the strands and […]
She’s a little weary and her mascara has smudged. Her lipstick has faded so you can just make out the edges and everything has sort of smeared. This lady hung up her dancing shoes a while ago but her heart […]
Rusty bolts, warped wood and stuck locks – this door is living in her memories of times gone by. Dreams and hope of several generations still reside in faithfully applied layers of paint that peek out as others peel and […]
Sometimes when fragments are drawn together, a kind of transformation takes place. The simple placement of things side by side and interweaved with each other creates a dynamic and centrifugal energy and out of this new possibilities can arise. Nature […]
It is lovely being back in the studio now that my studies have finished for the academic year. Then again, my research continues on, both in my practice and reading. During my lock-down walks I had been taking photographs of […]

It has been a very long time since I’ve posted a blog on account of the Masters of Research degree I have been doing at UAL Central Saint Martins. Who would have thought all that has happened has happened and […]
