Considering Art Podcast – Melita Denaro, painter
Melita Denaro paints landscapes from her home on the Isle of Doagh in the Irish county of Donegal. In this episode, she talks about childhood memories, studying ceramics, working as an art teacher in a tough north London school, charming her way into the Royal Academy Schools, making a series on the Crucifixion based on The Troubles in Northern Ireland, how she was persuaded to take up landscape painting en plain air, how light is the most important aspect of her works and how she copes with Multiple Sclerosis.

The miracle of hearing my blood vessels of the neck working on an ultra-sound, so perfect like whales calling each other (Christmas Roses flowering so sweetly by the dog’s graves).
Drawing based on Michelangelo’s Pieta
Compelled to Place in His Sheltering Presence
Machouschla and Mary Frances having a staring match and drinking whiskey and ginger wine in front of the fire – I would rather be part of this, than be at a New Year’s Eve party at a hotel in Barry Liffin
