Artist's Description
On a recent vacation to Dorset in England I visited this very picturesque village. Corfe is situated between Swanage and Wareham and boasts an impressive castle that towers over the village. Corfe Castle is over 1000 years old and is now owned by the National Trust. Most of the houses are built of beautiful Purbeck stone which is a lovely grey colour. However, for this painting I wanted to introduce a little colour.
The pub on the left is the Greyhound Inn and below is an excerpt from an article written by the owner Jacci Pestana:
The name 'Greyhound' may have been derived from the King's Greyhounds, royal messengers who wore greyhound emblems on their tunics and were renowned for

About Jo Appleby
Art is an integral part of my life. When working on a piece, I am completely engaged in the process. In order to keep my subject matter fresh and exciting, I frequently get the urge to experiment with different mediums and techniques, changing my themes depending on the time of year, location or inclination. A common thread of my work might include reflections, particularly water reflections and the interplay of light and shadow.

I am always open to new possibilities, adding fresh layers to my artistic journey. I hope you enjoy my work. Latest exhibits: The Edge...
