ARTS+ENTERTAINMENT southeasttalent: PAINTING PAINTING IS A HOBBY THAT MANY PEOPLE ENJOY – BUT WHEN IT CAN BECOME A CAREER AS WELL, THAT’S SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL. AND WHEN IT CAN BECOME A CAREER IN THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH EAST OF ENGLAND, THEN IT IS A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN AND EVERYTHING FALLS NEATLY INTO PLACE Kent and Sussex have some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK, so it’s no wonder that painters have flocked here over the years in order to try to capture it on canvas. During the autumn and winter, the South East takes on a new cloak of colours, the palette changing from the bright blues and greens of the summer to golds, reds, greys and browns. And they are truly stunning. These painters from across Kent and Sussex are some of the very best, using our fantastic area of the country to create stunning works of art.
