I am now proud to have a new look newsletter: great because I can show more paintings of London as well as links to galleries and art events in London. Also the art in progress images of the trees and butterflies show a glimpse of the art in my studio and what it is like to express yourself in oil on canvas. Skylark Galleries recently quoted: Sara Sherwood creates iconic cityscapes that are vibrant and expressive. Her paintings of London capture the city in a positive light. A great representation of our city in the Olympic year 2012. Her newsletter gives an insight into her creativity.

Cityscapes of London in oil on canvas

Today I was searching for something online and I came across an icon of Saint Demetrios, then I saw (in my mind) clear tears in his eyes. I was curious and searched further:
I had never heard of icons weeping before and then read about Myrrh Streaming tears of Saint Demetrios. I take this as something positive and a blessing.
On a constructive note I got some of my Myrrh essential oil and used it as I have a cold and it is good for that. It would appear miracles happen, we just have to be open to the possibility.

Oil on canvas by Sara Sherwood

This work was created specifically for Interfax, based in the City of London by artist Sara Sherwood. Interfax wanted to show the locations of their offices so we came up with the concept “Into our World” which symbolises the unification of the company across some of the different countries they are based in: Moscow, London and New York. We chose iconic buildings and the painting flowed from that with the London Skyline being the centre-point as it is where the art is to be placed and to celebrate the beauty of London. Tranquility and harmony was also an underlying theme so the art would be noticed and make a statement in a dramatic but gentle and sophisticated way, the aim was to inject a sense of calm to the boardroom to enhance the ambience and facilitate a productive working environment.
The boardroom is a mix of green/yellow ochre, chrome and brown wood. We decided upon white with olive green and golds and silvers to echo this contemporary feel and add another dimension with the olive green so the colour mix was not too prescriptive.
Individual pieces are called “Kremlin cake” “A break in the clouds” and “Flying high, New York” These titles came intuitively whist painting.
It has been a pleasure working with Interfax
