ROS MANSFIELD

Contemporary British Impressionist Artist

Inspired by nature, beauty, inner landscape

I am a contemporary British artist who lives and works in Surrey

My artwork finds freedom of expression in my journeys with people, landscape and the soul

I am a HCPC & BAAT Registered Art Therapist, practising in community settings in Surrey

I would love to hear from you to discuss an existing piece or a commission

sometimes it’s hard to find colour and beauty in the world so full of dramas … even the warm sun can disappear behind a cloud. These are the days when I need to look up and remember there is so much more to this beautiful world of ours. ❤️

‘Nightjars at dusk on Whitmoor Common’ … is flying home! So thrilled to have finished this one for beautiful friends. I will miss its peaceful presence in my studio and the joy of listening to birdsong for hours while i painted it. At times i was just in tears at the sheer privilege of being able to do this for a job. Some things in life are worth waiting for. Painting full time and being able to do it for such dear friends is a joy beyond joys….my goodness it was worth waiting for. Never give up on your dreams. Xx

Thinking about ‘wintering’ today while working with colour and outlines.
Feeling the change in the weather and hoping for clarity of mind as winter arrives. Have a warm weekend x

Some paintings never quite leave you…
‘All that a mother holds’ is that for me.
What may not be known about it, is that it has a hole in its centre from when I scrapped so hard into the canvas through many tears…for many years I thought it meant it was ruined… but now I realise that this is far from the truth - Yesterday I was reminded again that it’s actually these holes that let the light shine through.
We can’t get through this life without tears and rips in our very souls - but we can find the light that shines through them… in whatever you are holding today - no matter how ruined things may feel - there is always hope.

Sending much love to you all today .

Before sunrise…

who knew the day could hold such beauty even before the sun appears… ?
All I could do was cry.
There is always hope.
Every new day …. is a gift.

I’ve been sat at home now for days and days without wi-Fi and internet connection now… hardly seen social media- BUT from my quiet, disconnected place I have been able to love my art and enjoy moments of watching the birds fly over the fields or nestle in the shade- (keeping out of this heat).
Lots I could say about this piece but I’ll leave it with the title

‘birds over the salt marsh’
It’s been a joy ….

‘Walking through….’
Sometimes we are so many different things all at once and thoughts can go everywhere.

I think it’s called ‘being human…’!

Much love this Friday as you journey through xxx

Ah I think this is finally finished… it’s Friday -so much is happening in the world right now that is disorientating…& in some strange logic I find I am grounding myself by looking to the skies…looking up…. Here I am finding great comfort in the organised murmurations of beautifully choreographed bird flight. Oh how I love the freedom of their dances in the sky….
Have a blessed weekend .

Some days your brain feels fuzzy and painting is the only way forward!!

‘Defacing the Madonna..’
Mixed media on board
60 x 60cm

Here’s something that’s been with me for a while. A little bit different and possibly not to your taste but making this has felt important.

Its something about the feeling of helplessness of watching the destruction of what has been held dear/sacred.. I guess it reflects the loss of peace and security we have had to face recently … but whatever - I feel it is my protest and need to record it’s passing…
Apologies- it’s a warm and beautiful Spring day here and I like to post images of hope and beauty. These will follow …

Today I mark a moment in time, maybe to help me to move forward with real hope into the future…

Have a lovely Friday xx
