Kidlington Boulevard

About the artist

Hello! I’m Challoner Spokes and I’m an Oxford-based painter inspired by nature and horticulture. I paint in oil and acrylics and also enjoy working in oil pastels. My work is representational but it is not bound by reality. I’m interested in shape, line and colour and I think my artwork reflects that. For me, light is important but primarily to show up contrasts in colour. I enjoy the line that interrupts colours to define shape and objects.

Title of artwork

Kidlington Boulevard

Description of artwork

There is a lovely, long line of trees along Bicester Road on the Gosford side of Kidlington. The road is wide and airy and, to me, feels like a Continental Boulevard. This painting is done in oils and is 20 x 24 inches.

Materials used

Oil paint (Daler Rowney) on canvas board.
