… Some Favourite Artists

As someone who loves to paint… I also love seeing the art of others… especially contemporaries. My taste is varied and so I’ll show you the range of art and artists and describe a little of why I love their work.

The first are works by Bobbie Burgers... great name :)

I love her explosion of colours and vibrancy. It also has a very textural quality almost impasto. She is quite prolific and incredibly collectable.

The next I just love are the works of Clair Basler, a French artist whose touch is quite exquisite. Here's a sample.

Now Clair's work is quite exquisite and almost ethereal. You can see the execution is quite different to Bobbi's.

These works really speak for themselves.

Now for something completely different... not really a contemporary - and that the huge body of work from Grace Cossington Smith. She died in 1984 after pioneering post impressionism in this country. You'll see how different this work is from the other two.

I'm also seeing what attracts me to all three artists. Life! Vibrancy! Originality!

More of my favourite artists to come in future blogs!

What fun!
