Recent successes include being awarded a Purchase Prize at the Discerning Eye and to have been selected for the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize. Inspiration Suffolk’s ever changing coastal landscape of enormous skies, wide seas and empty beaches continually inspire Delia’s oil paintings; whether a stormy seascape, a riverbank footpath or a flat expanse of field one or two figures often enliven the scene. Sometimes just the simplified shapes and patterns created by distant fields, trees and houses in the mountains of Bavaria, France and Italy become the subject. Delia’s painting possesses calm, poetic observation coupled with sensitive technique. The work has an uncomplicated quality with enviable light, sure brushwork; a clear vision cleanly painted in close tones with a subtle palette.
