Jean Mintoft

Mixed-media, Oils & Acrylics, Pastels, Pen & Ink, Pencil & Charcoal, Watercolours

All my life I have loved drawing, painting and anything crafty. I drew and painted as hobby for many years but didn’t take it seriously until the late 1990s. At that time I painted mainly in pastels, but since I moved to Plymouth in mid 2014, I have experimented with other media, and currently use mainly acrylics or oils, sometimes mixed media. I also make pictures using wool, wet felted.

Colour has always had a strong emotional resonance for me, and such things as a sunset sky and the sparkle of sunlight on the sea always cause my spirits to rise. I am particularly interested in the contrast of light and shade, dark and light, and I enjoy atmospheric landscapes. Strong defined colours are my favourites, and in general I avoid muted colours. I also find fascination in patterns and mechanical structures, and have done paintings of motor bikes and steam engines. I paint mainly landscapes. Flowers attract me because of their vibrant colours but I also paint still life, portraits and dogs. My felt creations are usually of atmospheric landscapes.

I am a Christian and seek to show the beauty and wonder of the world around in my paintings.
