‘Reading’ 2023
Rebecca Lethbridge, ‘Reading’ 2023, Watercolour and pen on mount board, October 2023, A1.This painting was in the first exhibition in the Autumn Term 2023. I changed the colours to ones that you might not normally expect to see (such as the yellow sky and river) but that I felt had a personal connection to my experience of living and studying in Reading. While each colour could be seen to have its own ‘fixed’ meaning, to me the colour green signified the growth in my independence and hope of doing well at university, while the colours yellow and orange represented happiness. In contrast red symbolised love and excitement, whilst blue reflected my more tranquil times. The incorporation of the River Kennet in the painting linked to the fact that water is associated with emotions, and I explored emotions through my choice of colours.
