Picture
Going through the plans chest i came across this lovely Frank Beanland from the mid 90's. Inspired by his love of St Ives it demonstrates Frank's wonderful use of colour to represent land and sea.

Sadly Frank died earlier this year. A great loss to the art world.

Picture of Belfry sculptural art by Bill Belcher
Such an unusual and interesting sculptural piece by Bill Belcher who made art in boxes. This 1966 example is called Belfry and is very different to his usual work due to it's large size. Black is such a great colour and very en vogue in the world of interiors at the moment.

Still life painting of playing cards by Bill Belcher
Still life, Bill Blecher, Oil on board, 17x25cm

Still life come in many shapes and forms. But rarely have a seen one of playing cards. After much discussion we have decided this oil by Bill Belcher must be depicting a hand in progress at a poker table. Unless anyone knows any different?

Venetian scene oil painting by Alan Stenhouse Gourley
Venice - Alan Stenhouse Gourley, oil on board, 45 x 63cm

Great view of Venice by Alan Stenhouse Gourley. He was an inveterate traveller in Europe and South Africa where he painted en plein air. His paintings are always fresh and exciting.

Norma Jameson Untitled landscape pen on paper
Untitled B&W landscape - Norma Jameson - 1970's - Pen and graphite on paper

Art is all about simplicity, a few lines, a few swirls... But to make it work you have to be good. And the semi-abstracted realism of Norma Jameson is beyond good.

George Grosz, Grey Day 1921. Nationalgalerie Berlin © Estate of George Grosz, Princeton, N.J.
One of the best exhibitions I have been to in some time at the Tate Britain. Aftermath shows through art the warring nations response to the horror of the Western Front, the cessation of hostilities and the onset of peace.

What's in a Title?

Picture Ray Fawcett drawing
I recently purchased this etching from the family of Raymond Fawcett executed in 1964. It's title is 'Events in the day of a typist's life'. One struggles to find the events in the events the title suggests. There is a view of a woman dressing (or undressing), what looks to be a keypad of some kind but the other symbolic references have defeated me so far.

All of that though does not matter. It is a fabulous, enigmatic picture that makes you think which is exactly what art should always do.

Picture - Toby Horne Shepherd abstract still life painting oil
Toby Horne Shepherd, Abstract Still Life, Oil on paper, 50 x 60cm
This oil on paper abstract still life was painted in the late 1950's when the artist was living in London. The arrangement of shapes and forms draw you into the painting and the colours make it exciting and vibrant.
