This week Audrey Greaves is our Artist of the Week....and being a Greyhound lover and the owner of two rescue Greyhounds, I just had to choose this painting of Audrey's.
Audrey says: "This is a portait of a greyhound called Twinny that I did as a commission for someone. I painted it in oils on oil paper so it could be framed under glass. I can also paint on canvas and frame it as an oil. I began painting seriously in 1992 after joining an Art Club. I enjoy painting landscapes, flowers, wild life, portraits, pet portraits, abstract and naive paintings. At the moment I am painting a few still lifes in oils. My inspiration is found in the English landscape as well as scenes from abroad. I am also inspired by flowers in my own garden as well as parks and gardens that I visit and life in general. I paint in oils, acrylics, watercolour and mixed media. My work has been hung in several exhibitions throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire over the last 17 years and also in galleries. While exhibiting at the Ilkley Art Exhibitions in 1998 I was elected an Associate of the British Society of Painters. I have done several successful portrait, pet portrait and landscape commissions from photographs and would be pleased to do more.
I am now designing and making jewellery which is also on my gallery."
