Rosalinda Kightley

Rosalinda Kightley paints flowers, still-life and sometimes landscapes where rabbits in semi-human form exist.
Her vibrant and colourful floral paintings are inspired by the natural world around her. On long walks she’s often found photographing hedgerow plants or garden borders. A particular combination of colours, or the shapes of leaves against a background will be the start of the next painting. A love for vintage ceramics is evident in the cups, bowls and vases that are painted in detail and set off her flower arrangements. ‘I sometimes think of myself as a florist, arranging flowers in a pleasing way.’
Working in acrylics, her smaller paintings are usually on board or paper, whereas the larger pieces are on canvas. The more sweeping brushstrokes of petals and stems being freer on canvas.
