New Sky Thinking

A still from Cloud Study #01

After what seems like an age, the project has an online presence. We've set up on Instagram, Blue Sky and Facebook. This website and blog is also now live! Please feel free to join in the discussions. I know a lot of people have a vast amount of knowledge and information about Constable, his paintings and the locations he frequented, and this project is my way of learning about it all, so I'm all ears. 

I'm so pleased to be working with a great groups of talented people on the project, and you can find out more about them on the Partners page. 

​New ideas are springing up all the time so to explore some of these, and to generate some content, I've started a YouTube channel. The first thread I will be investigating is 'Cloud Studies', which is a response to the fact that Constable spent several summers just painting clouds in order to perfect his techniques. So in the coming months I'll be making some audio/visual versions of my own in the Dedham Vale so please keep an eye out for them. The first one is up now featuring the tower of St.Mary The Virgin, Dedham, which featured in many of Constable's paintings.
