Medium: Pastel;
acrylic; oil
Subjects:
Landscape; Portraits/figurative; Still life
Style:
Representational. Rosie says: “With a
background of fashion design and illustration it's not surprising that artists
such as Matisse and Bonnard have been an inspiration and also, living for 18
years in Germany, the German Expressionists. More recently, however, I have
been revisiting and learning from the older masters such as Caravaggio,
Zurbaran and Goya.”

Thank you for including me on your blog. Will take on board the lack of dimensions and medium on my website and amend when I have a moment! The image you have shown is oil on canvas 25 x 35cm Great site- Rosie
ReplyDeleteDrat! I should have spotted the medium! I have changed it for an indubitable pastel. Thanks for the compliment; it is great to find artists who use pastel in such a variety of ways, styles and subjects - we can all learn from one another.
