Artist of the Week - Paul Dixon

This week we have Paul Dixon as our Artist of the week.Paul paints in most media - oils, watercolours, acrylics and pastels and never one to feel pigeon-holed, tackles most subjects - landscape, seascape, cityscape, portraiture, still life, fantasy, surrealism and abstract.
As it's nearing Valentines Day I thought I'd choose this painting of Paul's. Full of Romance and atmosphere, it's entitled "Evening Glow" and depicts a couple walking in the evening glow, wrapped in togetherness. It's one of Paul's original watercolour paintings and comes presented in a double mount (cream outer mount and a green inner) ready for framing under glass. This painting has an unmounted size of 9 x 8.5 inches and would make a super, orignal Valentine's gift for the one you love. And it is for sale for a very affordable £65 (inclusive of postage)...so go on....why not be original this year. It is available to buy online via Paul's gallery on Affordable British Art.

Artist of the Week - Ros Callander

Ros Callander is a professional contemporary Scottish artist. She paints mainly sunset paintings, seascapes and landscapes and her art has been described as “arresting and atmospheric”. Ros also does portraiture, both people and animals, however her main love is nature and it’s influences on her native Scotland. Ros’s work, which is still very affordable, is increasing in popularity, often leading to waiting lists for her commissioned pieces.
The painting shown is called "Evening Reflections" and is painted in Acrylic paints on a 6ft x 3ft box canvas. This is one of Ros's larger works, although she enjoys painting on a wide variety of sized canvases.
She has recently been concentrating more on drawing, due to a back injury, and you can see a selection of her pencil drawings along with more of her paintings, in her gallery at Affordable British Art.

Tony Broadbent - Artist of the Week.

This week we have Tony Broadbent as our Artist of the week. Tony is a practising, professional artist who paints mainly abstract, figurative and traditional art in all media.
His work is best displayed on plain colour large expanse walls and is suitable for both minimalist and featured positioning.
Highly collectible his work has been recognised as a departure from the mundane.
Although best known for his larger paintings, Tony has recently completed a series of new and previously unseen small abstract works. These paintings are framed under glass, and have recently been added to his gallery on Affordable British Art. I particularly like this one, shown. The work on ' Blue Aspect ' itself is delicate and has many applications but at first sight is a finished and obvious work, this tends to be my usual approach to semi-representational work such as the sea under a blue sky. Upon study the nuances of the techniques employed can be seen which presents something new to the viewer each time they look at it. It is a rewarding and subtle piece which amalgamates into a full scene at a longer focal length.

Artist of the Week - John Boyle

Our artist of the week, John Boyle, has become a respected and established artist in his local area, gaining press coverage by hosting a one man portrait exhibition and taking part in group/collective art shows. He paints in a variety of styles using
mainly Acrylic and Oil paints. The majority of his commisions these days come mainly for portraiture work, where he paints the subjects from photographs.
John has always been interested in Art from a young age, and continued his interest as a hobby throughout his adult life. Now, finding more time, he has been able to commit himself more to his art and has sold paintings both locally and abroad. John will now be taking part in regular exhibitions where his work can be viewed and bought.

I particulraly like this painting - John painted it as a commission from a client who loved John Singer Seargent's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw and wanted to have a copy done. If you compare this painting to the original, it will give you a very good idea of John's attention to detail and ability to capture a true likeness.
If you are looking for a truly original purchase, whether as a Birthday, anniversary or Wedding gift, John would be happy to consider a commission.
