On my annual pilgrimage to the South of France, I feel a surge of creativity. This year I took my paints with me, and a roll of natural muslin to paint on. Each day I would paint what I remembered from the day before. A sight I love on the beaches is the rows of parasols poking out of the golden sand overlooking the azur sea. My favourite beach has blue and white parasols and I sat at the beach bar with my water-colours painting them. The next morning I got out my acrylics and inks and painted the scene from memory. I don’t want a photograph of what I saw. It is the essence that I want to capture; the feel of it, the colours, the heat haze. My mind abstracts the scene in translation and I like that. Painting in washes on the muslin allows me to create the quality of watercolour but then I can add thicker paint in the subsequent layers. When the painting is dry I add the tracks of my book character Brave New Girl by sewing her footsteps in the sand as she playfully loops the parasols, making her way along the beach. The muslin painting can be simply hung on a baton away from the wall to allow the light and the breeze to enhance the floaty work.

Lou Hamilton is an artist, multi-award-winning filmmaker & podcaster. She makes abstract paintings, which aim to help create quiet, meditative spaces to live and work. Concerned mainly with the abstract & working with found materials, oils, inks, plaster & acrylic, Lou is currently exploring chaos & calm through simple textures inspired by the landscape. Whether on paper, textile or canvas, they give a lens through which to view the world, a moment to stop, pause & consider Lou’s grand-father was the figurative painter Geoffrey Tibble 1909-1952. He was one of the distinguished & influential group of artists that emerged from the Slade at the of the 1920’s and was a member of the Euston Road School of Painters. His work can be seen at the Tate, and is in many collections around the world. In 1933 he with William Coldstream, Victor Pasmore & Rodrigo Moynihan founded the Objective Abstraction movement. It was short-lived but Lou has taken up the mantel through her work. Lou grew up in the wild, open and ancient landscape of Wiltshire, and every year since childhood has spent summers amongst the scorched, saturated colours of South of France. For five years she lived and painted in the Lake District, Cumbria and South West Scotland. Now she has settled on an Island in London, surrounded by water, glass-clad buildings, and graffiti covered walls and textured, peeling surfaces. The light, texture & colours are an ever-changing source of inspiration. Her studio faces the same view that Turner painted, an influence not lost on her. Lou’s paintings are inspired by landmass, aerial views, microscopic, energetic reflections of water, light, flags & urban textures. They might appear as simple bands of colour, in a 3-act structure, that bely the depth of surface, or scratched sgraffito layered works that allow the colours & underpainting to show through the cracks & broken surface. She uses oil pastels and scrapers to make marks & lines trailing across the surface. Working first with vigorous, energetic textural strokes in acrylic, then manipulating the surface with veils of acrylics or oils mixed with organic walnut oil, medium & sometimes plaster, she builds up layers until they start to resonate and ‘hum’. At that point she knows she’s hit the sweet spot. Her aim is to create a deep expression of landmass or city scars or aerial mapping at an elemental level.
