Painting Description

One of the most famous landmarks in Oxford. This painting is another study of Bridge of Sighs, which is part of the structure of Hertford College.

Alice’s Bridge of Sighs I is another version of the same subject, viewed from a different direction.

Painting Oxford has become an ongoing project for Alice. Walking past thousands of tourists every day reminded her to look at her surroundings with a fresh pair of eyes.

Similar to the first version of the same subject, this painting is painted in soft palettes, inspired by paintings she often encounters at her job in the museum. Alice wanted to distance her work from realistic colours. In doing this she practised using different palettes to enhance subjects.
