ARTISTS
Chris Hunt
I create artwork from my home in beautiful Devon, crafting pieces that are as individual as the people who commission them.
I often get asked.....- " What does your art say?"
My philosophy is always that "Every Picture tells a story, 201d and my art will always do its upmost to capture the stories, memories, and emotions for the individual.

I have always painted, drawn, scribbled and sprayed. (I did Ceramics at college too).
The most important part of the journey is always - That every picture paints a story. Our time will be enjoyable (That's the whole point), relaxed, without too many rules.... And maybe a little mischievous? (In an arty sort of way).

It would an absolute pleasure to spend some time- looking, watching, and getting our story down on paper.

Chris Hunt is available for private bookings

Always happy to discuss how I can help.
Private painting sessions/tutorials are always welcome, along with commission works.
if you have anything in your head that you want to create - lets talk about how we can make it happen.

Title or Location: The Marshes
This 9x12 watercolor is a depiction of wetlands typical of Georgia at sunset. It's painted in a loose and expressive style. A central blue waterway snakes through the dense green reeds of the foreground marsh, reflecting the golden light of the sky with gray clouds and a distant line of green trees in the background giving it depth and perspective.
