Living in the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol regions of Spain have been a huge source of inspiration especially when it comes to painting the sea. The Mediterranean Sea is known for its deep blue colour. The turquoise and aqua tones with the dark navy of the deep ocean are depicted with thick impressionistic brushstrokes and thick paint application.

Biography
´There exists a correlation between the soul, place, and destiny, and my paintings serve as a representation of this connection¨.
Kirsty Wain, a talented contemporary British painter currently based in Spain, explores the profound connection between the soul, place, and destiny through her artwork, which has been featured in prestigious exhibitions such as 'Being with Trees' in Gibraltar and 'Regeneration' at the Hansard Studio in London. Her pieces, which focus on the beauty of landscapes, can be found in private collections worldwide, as she employs color and line to capture the true essence of each location with a sense of liberation and individuality.
Kirsty Wainś landscape art endeavors to encapsulate the intrinsic nature of a location by employing a liberal approach, utilizing color and line to construct a harmonious arrangement. The influence of post-impressionism resonates throughout her creations, characterized by the application of thick, textured paint onto the canvas. Enthused by the perpetual beauty of the natural world, Kirsty Wain finds inspiration in the intricate details of trees, the undulating contours of the terrain, the vastness of the ocean, and the captivating allure of the skies. Each place holds significance for Wain, evoking vivid recollections of a fleeting instant or a poignant memory.

Patio Acrylic Paintings
I am working on a new series of acrylics of garden and patio scenes and really embracing the freedom and playfulness of working with this medium. The paintings are drying super fast in the Spanish Summer heat!

I have been engrossed in painting flowers! The evolution of my series of still life paintings featuring flowers, created with oil paints, has advanced from my initial quick acrylics on paper to my recent works showcasing irises in a Chinese vase and a textured vase of roses. While drawing inspiration from Van Gogh and Matisse, I have incorporated my own artistic style. There are more paintings in this collection to come, as I continue to explore this theme.

Coral Tree paintings
The coral tree is a beautiful tropical plant with brilliant red flowers. The first painting was completed at the beginning of Spring in Manilva, Andalucia. Although this painting has a bright blue sky it was actually a sunny but very cold morning. I was inspired by the twisted greyish mass of branches and did not initially notice the bright red flowers emerging at the base. The painting will feature in the Regeneration exhibition at Hansard Studio Gallery in London in December 2023. A few weeks I later returned to the same place and painted the second piece when the tree was in bloom.

An atmospheric, heavily textured impressionistic oil painting of the almond blossom trees in Andalucia, with beautiful goldfinches flying through the landscape.
The colours and textures are reminiscent of Van Goghs olive trees series, which was completed in 1889. Whilst also containing traces of Hockney's recent landscape work.
In this piece, I have included the goldfinches to describe the characteristics of the Andalucian environment and the life of the wilderness.
