“Rainbows Within” oil on canvas by Sara Sherwood

#Painting Skylines is very rewarding and I keep wanting to explore and take the art in new directions as soon as I have finished say a #painting of London, I want to try something else, like the reflections of #Tower Bridge in a new colour or putting in more flowers and then I #paint and it just happens and nothing I thought to do appears, just something else equally beautiful and then I think to do that again and then something else totally new happens. I suppose that is really letting go of the outcome!

I also enjoy the discipline of working on commission you have to keep the focus, but that just flows too.

This latest “Rainbow collection” is about celebrating joy in life. #SaraSherwoodArt at #SkylarkArtGalleries unit 1.09 #Oxo Tower Open Tuesday to Sunday 11am to 6pm. We are a collective of artists and there is an artist on duty every day. There is an eclectic mix of art; something for everyone at a range of prices or just come along and enjoy.

#SkylarkArtGalleries unit 1.09 #Oxo Tower
#SaraSherwoodArt Artist in residence on 11 February and Sat 20th Feb,11am to 6pm or by appointment.

#Art image: “Rainbows Within” is about inner beauty

Painting with Intention

Tip 3. When you are painting hold the intention of what you create will be beautiful, know that blessings come from God and ask for His help if you need it! Be positive whatever your faith. Tip 4. Enjoy the process rather than focus on the outcome. www.sarasherwood.co.uk

Handmade Jewellery

My handmade jewellery captures my mind as it twists and turns. Making jewellery keeps me at peace. As I thread the wire each movement calms me and I relax into a new place, weaving a graceful presence in the moment, capturing the essence of now into an everlasting wearable work of art. I don’t not …

Sara was wonderful. First, she is an amazing artist and I love her work. I discovered her art during a visit to Spitalfields Market on the morning before a flight back to the US from London. She somehow found a way to wrap the piece in a way that allowed me to carry it on my flight and get it home without a scratch. She’s a blessing and I highly recommend her.

fantastic artwork. We saw Sara’s work at spitalfields market and contacted her the week after. She kindly made time to do a quick call and gave advise on the artwork for our kitchen, and flexibly arranged the pickup. Much appreciated and everyone visiting loves it!

Over the years I have been supporting Sara and her extraordinary work. She is one of the kind and owing a piece of her work is a privilege. I would recommend going for inspired and spontaneous pieces as you will get Sara's heart and soul in them, you can actually feel the moment.

We recently bought one of Sara's magnificent paintings for our son oh his 50th birthday. Sara was so helpful and very friendly. Our son has long been a big fan of Sara's work and was absolutely delighted with his gift. She is such a talented lady.

After purchasing a piece of Sara’s work some years ago, we commissioned a second artwork to complete our room, we met with Sara, discussed colours, ideas and style and were absolutely delighted with our original piece - ‘paradise’. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Sara, we would thoroughly recommend the whole experience- thanks Sara

I recently bought one of Sara's pieces, which looks even better in real life than it does on her website: despite being an embellished canvas print, it looks just like an original, with the embellishing adding noticeable texture. Sara was incredibly helpful throughout, offering me various options to make sure I got precisely what I wanted, and that I was delighted with the finished product. The only difficulty I had was choosing which piece to go for, as I liked so many of them. Sara was incredibly patient, and offered sage advice as to which one would work best with the colour scheme of my front room. The overall service provided by Sara was outstanding.

I saw Sara’s works at Spitalfields market and immediately wanted to make one picture as a birthday present for a friend of mine.We met with Sara at her studio and had a nice chat about the pic, its meaning and the story behind.Sara’s works have a distinct character, it is a mix of modern art and traditional landscapes / skylines what fits well in a modern looking house / flat.On top of that she puts some hidden signs like angels and stars that turn out represent her believes.It was a pleasure for me to present this pic to a friend of mine as well as to get to know Sara.

Sara was recommended to me by a friend who also alerted me to when Sara was exhibiting at Spitalfields Market. Having already checked out Sara’s work I thought I knew what I was looking for but on arrival I was immediately struck by some of her other pieces and I was spoilt for choice. There was one painting that I really liked but unfortunately it was not quite the size I needed. Sara was immediately responsive and went to work creating a beautiful piece of art that captured the original that I liked and adapting so that it looks perfect in the space. This is has been a very positive experience and I have been impressed with not only Sara’s talent but her approachability and professionalism.

We bought a beautiful piece of artwork from Sara for a colleague who was moving to a new role in NY. Sara was so helpful in getting it shipped to NY with regular updates. Our colleague was thrilled to have such a beautiful painting to remind him of his time in London and it was hung straightaway!

My husband and I met Sara at the Spitalfields Art Market. We knew we wanted a new piece of art but didn't know what. Walking around the market Sara's work immediately caught our eye and she was so lovely to talk to, taking us through her work and style and we ended up discussing having a piece commissioned of my husbands home town of Edinburgh. Sara took time to get to know us and understand our design preferences. We were so excited to see the end piece when completed and it didn't disappoint. We love it! Perfect piece for our fireplace.

My family have a few pieces of Sara's artwork so I knew just the person to ask to help me with a wedding present for some close friends of mine. Sara was so helpful in suggesting ideas and was more than happy to create an original piece based on the city my friends met - Bristol - and all to a deadline as well! The end result has exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to gift it to them! Thank you so much, Sara. It is absolutely beautiful. I cannot fault the overall service - both personal and professional.

Sara's passion for her art was clear from the start. She made every effort throughout the process to make time to discuss ideas and answer any questions. The final piece is amazing and everything I hoped for, the texture and colours providing the perfect centre piece.

After seeing Sara’s art in London several years ago, I received three pieces recently in the United States and Sara was a delight to work with during the international ordering process. Sara took great care with packing the paintings for shipping and they all arrived in perfect condition. She was very communicative up to and after delivery of the art and her work is absolutely stunning. I am very happy to now have multiple of her pieces in my home. Thank you Sara!

We are delighted with how it looks and so pleased with the whole experience, Sara was so engaging thoughout and made everything easy.

We absolutely adore our London Cityscape! I saw some of Sara’s work in a London office and loved it so got in touch. She was easy to communicate my ideas to and understood just what I wanted! This was a gift for my husband and we were so happy with the result! Such beautiful work.
