Marie Robinson’s Afternoon Calm is an original seascape painting of a group of moored boats. Marie was inspired to paint this view off the south Dorset coast on one of those calm late afternoons when the horizon disappears and the sea and sky merge into one. Afternoon Calm is painted in oils on board and is framed in a cool white painted wood frame.

I have a continuing engagement with thematic collections and am inspired by the history and associations inherent in ordinary objects and materials.
My subjects are commonplace items particularly from the domestic environment. I am interested in the arrangement, combination and repetition of these familiar items and the narrative, atmosphere or resonances which can be evoked by the considered choices of subject and composition.
I work from a contemporary perspective rooted in the tradition of realistic still life painting. Painting directly from life I employ a representational style to evoke the qualities of the subject which first attracted my attention, without losing the physicality of oil paint on a flat surface.
On leaving school I initially studied for a Chemistry degree before having my two children. Despite having drawn and painted all my life it was only while bringing the children up that I found the flexibility to develop further artistically. I initially studied with the Open College of the Arts and was eventually able to study for a Fine Art degree with De Montfort University as a ‘mature student’, graduating in 2002 with First Class Hons. During this time I also worked part-time as a picture researcher.
I now paint full-time, working from my garden studio."
