The first stop on our trip in October was to visit Cheyenne, Wyoming and place some of my work at the Link Gallery. We me the owners Rebecca and Mike Barrette and after suffering from the thin air for two days, we pushed on westward, across the Rockies to the west coast. The drive across Wyoming was…

If you like texture one of the more neglected elements of painting design, really getting your hands into the paint, then there’s nothing to match the thick impasto works of the plein air painter George Rowlett. He’s a pupil of Euan Uglow and also from the Frank Auerbach tradition but has created his own massive distinctive style. His work is one example of the diverse methods employed by artists painting in…

I’m sure many have heard of Louisa McElwain, she is a wonderful exponent of the actual pleasures of doing on site painting as opposed the finished work that we tend to focus on a whole lot more. Her huge spontaneous canvases are far cry to working the more deliberate and detailed smaller size in methods, no more important, just different.

Here is a personal note, to myself: I am a grandmother of seven, five of whom live across the street. Weekends are packed. In addition, volunteering commitments are at least seventeen hours a week. I try to go to an art class twice a month. Seven years ago I was asked to do a one-woman gallery show, which I did, and made money from, so I know some people like my art. I do still-life at home when possible. I am sorry to not be more organized and that I am not more disciplined. The problem is, I… Continue
