This has been painted entirely outdoors in situation, over the duration of a day. It was painted in September. The lady in the foreground came to look at my greeting cards and I asked if she would mind if I painted her. I had planned the composition before starting, I wanted to have a figure in the foreground but did not book a model - I trusted someone would turn up! The figure brings in another dimension, so the painting is not just about the gorgeous and very grand location of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The fact she is turned away and looking down makes me feel she has more going on in her world than being a tourist. I enjoyed painting this - gratuitously mixing and adding bright colours, not being precious. Getting the architecture down was hard, but I just put figures in front of the parts that didn't work.

Emma is a London born and educated artist, digital video maker and designer – her artwork straddles stoneware sculpture, cyanotype printing, painting (watercolour, oil and acrylic), illustration, photography, fabric art, animation and vector design. Emma's art is highly personal, her subjects include her friends (animal as well as human), places she’s visited, experiences and things that capture her imagination. Her artwork is uncontrived and free from trying to be anything other than what it is. "At the core of Emma Plunkett's work is the female. Not feminine or politicised. Whether it be a disappearing view of trees into the Spanish horizon, a slithering viscous ceramic or a candid nude. It is always individual and genuine. This we must celebrate”. Gareth Lister - Artist & Curator
