Hugh Dunford art exhibition in English city

We were honored to have Hugh dunford as a guest in English city .Hugh dunford wood is a very well-known portrait painter.he was a founder of many honorable art schools and studios ,for example the UK's first studios scheme in oxfordshir in 1984.
Wood contributed to many art exhibitions and he had alot of solo shows all over the world .wood mentioned that he is inspired by nature ,he painted alot of landescaping paintings ,his woodlands paintings show the contrast between the wildness of the natural world and the culture that we have constructed .these paintigs made me realize that we have been neglecting the bueaty of the wild nature for so long and we were busy making an artificial bueaty which is nothing compared to the true ,real thing "Nature".
wood mentioned that he is inspired by other artists work as well and he likes to copy their work somtimes because it is challanging and he likes to be challanged.
Hugh said that when he paint a portrait for a person he likes it to be so alive and he use alittle trick for that, he puts a mirorr behind his back so his model can watch the painting and not becomes bored .
Hugh wood stated that he tried all kind of paints ,he uses acrylic and water paints because they dry quickly.and he preferes oil paint because of its texture and viscosity .
HUgh wood is a talanted artist .we were happy to have him and we are looking forward to his next visit.
