“Paintings by Liz Allen” runs from 7 March to 6 April 2023
Hello!
I was excited to find out that the Câmera municipal / town council of Monchique had offered me an exhibition at the municipal gallery. I’d always hoped for an exhibition there before my time is up in Monchique, as the place has provided so much material for my work.
The exhibition will include more than thirty paintings from different eras going back as far as 2008! The work will include not just paintings of and around Monchique, also Lagos, VN Milfontes, Aljezur, and Porto.
Over the years, my work has revolved around the unspoilt countryside around Monchique more and more. Recently, it has often been about trees, but my latest painting” Village Houses near Monchique” does indeed feature some houses. Set in the landscape with the hills rolling away in the background, this group of houses were damaged in the 2018 fires, and some became ruins. Evidently some of these houses are still very much inhabited though.
It’s a scene which has been the subject of some of my previous paintings, which you can see below also.
I hope you will be able to visit my exhibition if you are in the area.
