Moving away from her familiar landscape subjects, this 2026 painting brings her personal visual language of colour, marks and texture to a more introspective subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining acrylic, collage and pencil on board, the work offers a different perspective on Boardman’s practice. Its layered materials and expressive mark-making create a focal point for a home, with an intimate subject that invites a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting developed from drawings and notes made while the artist was preparing to exhibit at the Three Counties Open Exhibition in 2026 at Fenton Town Hall, Stoke-on-Trent. It is finished with the artist’s professional medium, UV-protective varnish and wax, and presented in a black tray frame with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtwork details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helen Boardman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eLeft to My Own Devices\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic, collage and pencil on cradled board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 × 41 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFramed size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61 × 51 × 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFraming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black tray frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDocumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Helen Boardman\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelen Boardman is a semi-abstract landscape artist based in Stone, Staffordshire. A keen walker, she responds emotionally as well as visually to the places she explores, from the Staffordshire Moorlands to the Peak District. Here, that interest in landscape turns inward, making this self-portrait a distinctive departure from her usual subject matter. Her paintings are held in private collections across the UK and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helen Boardman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58961725063549,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/9705\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_da1124ed-947f-4887-8f1f-96d1adabdb41.jpg?v=1792766028","url":"https:\/\/www.barewall.co.uk\/products\/left-to-my-own-devices-2026-by-helen-boardman","provider":"Barewall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
