نبذة مختصرة : Coloratura 2022: Sharing my painting life and new work. A collection of paintings by artist Lucy Doyle celebrating 40 years of painting with this special collection. 'At the beginning of a new collection of paintings I decide on a title, which has been developing in the back of my mind over many months. The title is just a loose construct, but allows me to experiment with colour moods and new subject matter, providing me with a renewed impetus and new challenges. This keeps my work fresh and vital. I was very honoured in 2021 to have some of the images of past paintings used as part of the backdrop to Rodula Gaitanou?s production of Rossini?s Barber of Seville performed by Gothenburg Opera Company during September and October, 2021. As a result, I glimpsed through a window into the world of opera with all its colour and sound so I was inspired to call my latest collection of paintings Coloratura which means elaborate embellishment and ornamentation, usually referring to the Soprano voice. The largest painting in this collection is the 122 x 152 cm Coloratura painting that imbues all that I was trying to achieve at the time.'
