To start 2018 off with a bang here are the latest batch of paintings I've collected. A quite wide collection of subjects, styles and techniques. It is difficult to believe some are watercolours but all are supposedly such.They don't all attract me personally - loose paintings with a minimalist approach are my preferences - although I marvel at the skill and concentration that must have gone into them. Something for everyone?
Diane C Benoit
I'm a big fan of Dianes work.
Bev Jozwiak
I'm a fan of Bev but she does use mixed media a lot. I think this is mainly watercolour.
Tulay Sayilgan
Alisa Kalinova
I don't know this artist and it illustrates a shot from her studio rather than a single painting. It struck a chord with me and I thought I'd include it. I like the treatment of the tomatoes, is that"s what they are.
Kris Pressian
Another new artist. This is amazing and it's hard to believe it is watercolour. The detail is staggering. How this was painted is beyond me.
Robert Zangarelli
Aynur Akalin
Reminds me a bit of Gerard Hendriks.
Steve Cole
Another new one. This is obviously a political statement which I don't normally push, although I have strong views on many things including politics. It just seemed a very interesting painting.
John Sal Minen
Another new one - amazing detail
Richard Stevens
Romer Urs
Another new one.
Gerard Hendriks
A typical bird study from Gerard
Necla Ayvaz
Quite amazing isn't it.
Nuwka Ivanova
Li Ronghui
Again staggering attention to detail yet it is said to be a watercolour!
Emile Romerr
Another new artist
Apirak Garuda
And still they come another new to me.
Aymur Akalin
Need I say it? Another new artist (to me).
Charles Reid
A Xmas sketch for a postcard I think.
Gerard Hendriks
A change from his more usual birds and animals. terrific though. Just shows how talented Gerard is
Gerard Hendriks
Another winter scene. Love it.
That's it folks. I hope you like them. Many are worthy of study.
