Carolyn Blake, 'Philosophers Stone'

Carolyn explains more, "apart from being a veritable feast for the eyes and soul, h.Art week is also a wonderful opportunity for artists who often are very solitary figures hiding in studios etc, to come out and network, not only with the general public but with each other, so I think it's wonderful.

"All my work is to do with the response on the emotional level of landscape, and surrounded as we are by countryside of outstanding beauty then I'm continually inspired by the ancestral pull of the earth.

"This all sounds very pretentious, and maybe a bit arty-farty, I hope not, but it's difficult to write about my work - that's why I paint!
