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.

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.

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.
