Last week I went to see Mrs. H who showed me a picture that she liked and had cut it out of the local paper. I noted the name of the artist and came home and tried to look it up for her on the Internet. The Artist does have a website and I liked her paintings very much.Jill Hobbs is a South-east Wales based landscape artist. Jill specialises in 'landscape paintings. predominately in the medium of pastels' she says on her Web Home Page. Born in Pembrokeshire she currently lives in Pontypool and runs the Griffithstown Arts Group.
If anyone wants to join her Arts group you can make application online:There is currently an Art exhibition running in Newport Museum and Art Gallery marking the 60th anniversary of the Welsh Group of artists. It runs until the 13th June. I was wondering if Jill Hobbs was exhibiting there - well there is only one way to find out -visit!
I couldn't find Mrs. H's picture on her website, but the ones selected above are two that I particularly liked.
