  • ‘Painting Through The Dark Month’

    I met up with artist Rob Pointon in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre as he battled the elements to continue his series for the Brampton Museum and Art Gallery, entitled ‘Painting Through The Dark Month’.

    Local artist Rob Pointon will be attempting the challenge of completing an oil painting a day throughout the month of January. Rob paints outdoors in all weathers, temperatures, day or night. As soon as the painting is completed we will hang it and gradually populate this exhibition.

    We enjoyed a chat about the town’s palette and his notable style of painting with an exaggerated perspective.

    Also good to be reminded we’re both alumni of the University of Wales, lol.
