About The Artist

When I was a child, I loved drawing but never pursued it as a career. My working life was spent mainly in HR and after retraining at KLC School of Design, I began working for a local interior design company near Alton (Hampshire). I spent 12 happy years there and took early retirement in August 2022.

With spare time on my hands (and having always been creative), I invested in some watercolours and began painting botanicals – until I discovered coloured pencils! With coloured pencils I can create the realism I love, and being able to combine that with my love of animals is a match made in heaven for me!

Carol Fetherston - Pet Portrait and Animal Artist

Mostly I do commissioned pet portraits but I’m happy to accept commissions for other animals. I love being able to capture the special bond that exists between an owner and their pet. In particular, I enjoy drawing memorial portraits, and having drawn two of my own, I know the comfort they can bring.

About The Artist

Rebecca Hurst’s work is an exploration of light, tone, colour, contrast. She paints still life, landscapes and abstracts. She is fascinated by shadows and light and the shapes created. She takes her inspiration from the countryside, farm machinery and architecture.

Photographs and sketches are taken back to her studio in Winchester where she paints mainly in Acrylics and Mixed Media.

“For me, it is not simply about the entire view or object which I choose to paint. I love to focus in on certain areas which might go unnoticed. A rusty tractor engine; pebbles on a beach; the lock of an old door; peeling paint on a sign.

Exploration and play are an important part of my painting process and layers of paint are added before the final painting begins to take shape. I want to create art which encourages the viewer to notice the beauty in the unexpected.”

Rebecca graduated from Surrey Institute of Art and Design, gaining a BA in Graphic Design (Visual Communication) and worked as an account manager for many years. In 2013, she chose to focus full time on her painting and has been developing her artistic practice ever since. She has taken various online and in-person workshops.

Reflections - Autumn at Manor Farm - Contemporary Acrylic Painting by Winchester Landscape Artist Rebecca Hurst

Reflections

Inspired by the pond next to Manor Farm near Bursledon during a beautiful warm, autumnal day. Looking across the pond, from the church, the farm can be seen through the trees. The reflections upon the still pond are so calming.

Mottisfont Bridge - Abstract Art - Winchester Hampshire Artist Rebecca Hurst

Mottisfont Bridge

This painting is inspired by the old rusty bridge at Mottisfont National Trust, near Romsey. I have always been fascinated by the rusty colour and love to look through the holes to see the natural flora and fauna beyond.

New Forest Mudeford - Acrylic Painting - Winchester Hampshire Coastal Artist Rebecca Hurst

New Forest (Mudeford)

From my New Forest Series, this painting is inspired by the waters just as you head into Mudeford Quay. I spent many a happy day down on the coast and this painting just reminds me of the feeling of freedom and of relaxation.

I feel like I am being taken on a journey, being transported through this piece and the warmth of that orange against the cool blue colour is just so calming.

You can just see the boats in the distance bobbing on the blue waters and hear the clanging sound against the masts of those on shore.
