On 50 meters from our house a flat upright rock indicates (by co-incidence?) the place on the horizon where the sun sets on 21 of June. A good reason to enjoy the sunset on that day with special attention.
Helen Butler has a residency in May-June at Foundation OBRAS, Portugal. There she continues making her intriguing, minimal paintings, adapting her colour spectrum in response to surrounding nature and skies. This video gives an impression of her residency and the work in progress.
Just next to our house is a valley that always has lots of flowers in March - May. But at this moment it has a field of St John's worth like never before.
Helen Butler is now halfway her two-months residency. Her paintings are fascinating: mysterious harmony and yet vivid, fragile and yet powerful, nearly monochromatic but rich in tints. #helenbutlerart #meditationart #artresidency
