“Eight mini illustrations created from scans of leaves I collected in the Autumn. The characters were illustrated digitally using the colours, textures and shapes of the leaves to inspire their designs. The artworks are hand signed with pencil and printed on 300 GSM recycled cardboard. They are available as a full set of 8 for £45 or individually for £8 each in my Artfinder shop.” - Kev Munday
“Venice is one of those cities I could visit over and over again and never fall out of love with! The vibrance and unique colours and atmosphere there have been captured by many artists. The colour of the sea is signature to Venice. This piece is of my own personalised style; a blend of pointillism and impressionism; using free brushstrokes and colour to create depth and emotion in the scenes. A mix of colours with dots helps creates the feeling of energy and bustling atmosphere that is unique to Venice.” - Elizabeth Cummings Murray
“In my day when we used to watch the game, we had to use stealth, camouflage and teamwork to follow and hunt down the deer. If we made too much noise and made our presence known, the animals would soon run off, our hunt would fail and we'd go hungry. So nowadays I don't really understand all these people waving flags, wearing coloured scarves and ridiculous shirts and shouting at the top of their voices at other people running around in the similar shirts. It's not my idea of successfully 'watching the game'. They'll never catch them that way!” - Carruscaux
“A striking portrait in muted sage and purple tones. Painted in artists acrylics this artwork is a classic example of my signature style of using layered thick brushstrokes to create almost a jigsaw of marks to build an image. I painted this piece in 2007 from a series of live sittings and photographs I took myself. The subject of the portrait is my friend and fellow artist.” - Matthew Stutely
“‘Waiting’ is a painting of a woman lying on her back in a flowing dress, her feet in the air. One inspiration was ‘The Christ of St John of the Cross’ by Dali. Yet here we have a woman, not Christ; clothed rather than unclothed, ethereal rather than wretched; closer to Victorian Romanticism. She has her legs firmly crossed; denying sexuality and perhaps an allusion to the Cross. Is this a woman waiting supinely for her lover? Or a reference to the last moments of Christ; ‘giving up the ghost?’. Perhaps this work is literally turning things upside down.” - William Oxer
“My art practice involves short journeys to the mountain-side in Rachub on my bike. This is Brenda Chamberlain country (1912 – 1971, Welsh Artist and poet), where I like to draw the slate rock faces. In the summer I paint on canvas, in oils, in situ. At this time of year, the wind and rain mean that only paper, pencil, watercolour pans and a little water are all that can be stowed in my rucksack. Inspired by the working drawing by Frank Auerbach for “Primrose Hill”, the sketching journeys fill me with energy to take back to my studio.” - Sarah Whiteside
“As I love the Union Jack flag and the history behind it, I was inspired to paint this large acrylic painting (102cm x 91cm) depicting the iconic 'Punk' Union Jack image used on the Sex Pistols album 1977 with 'Sex Pistols' written through and safety pins holding the ripped flag together.” - Sue Rowe
“With freshly opened petals, tissue-paper-creased, this giant corn poppy was already big, measuring 15cm across it was begging to be photographed, I love the dark mysterious interior, a mass of black stamen surrounding the stigma contrasting beautifully against the vivid red of the fragile delicate petals, it was a mass of contradictions and a joy to study and photograph.” - Emma Hughes You can browse more artworks of poppies in our new collection - https://www.artfinder.com/story/the-poppy/
“This image of a coin-operated binocular tower viewer gives me the strange impression that I am the one who is observed. Inspired by "melancholic wanderings", Brussels based photographer Sven Laurent explores the questions of space and materiality in contemporary landscape photography. This image of a is part of a series showing common objects of our urban lives. The light, materiality and perspectives of the represented objects give us a different look on the daily environment of the cities we live in. The choice of printing large scale posters on mat paper was motivated by its natural referral to public display.” - Sven Laurent
“There is something undeniably seductive about the night -- it has the power to shroud, obscure and to intensify. Night Swimming 1 is from a series of paintings entitled “Night Swimming and Other Nocturnal Pleasures” which investigates the freedom, excitement and pleasure that can be found in embracing the dark. In Night Swimming 1, as with all of my paintings, I hope to remind the viewer that you don’t have to travel halfway around the world to find places that are magical, feelings that can electrify and experiences that can change your life.” - John DeFeo
