Pewter Jug and late Summer Flowers by Jo Aylward. oil on panel, signed,10ins x 8ins.
Jo has been drawing and painting from a young age, with the natural world always being her biggest theme. Living in the countryside, gardening, and keeping animals have become increasingly important to Jo and provides the central inspiration for her work. Jo's paintings are predominantly about small event and fleeting moments--such as a brief glimpse from a window, or the changing quality of light that brings something alive--that colour the everyday.
JoI keeps sketchbooks and many of these moments appear her paintings from memory, creating a repetition of the familiar. See more of Jo's work here
