Index; Florals and Landscapes by Christine; oils, acrylics and pastel

Christine has been painting a variety of subjects since first starting out with art in 1974; initially with oils, later on including pastels and then acrylic just a few years ago. She has been concentrating particularly on floral pictures and related themes since 1999. The work has moved through several stages of development; from small, realistic studies suited to local exhibition and buyers, to larger experimental paintings on canvas. These have often featured extreme close up study, pushing the flower's boundaries beyond the canvas edges and concentrating on the revealed shapes, recesses, curves and tiny structures found within. Popular approaches have also included a single flower portrayed on a large canvas, creating a kind of floral icon. Poppies and lilies have been particularly successful in this style. The slideshow below demonstrates some of the latest completed works plus examples of work sold;

There is a mix of paintings on display, of oils and acrylics on canvas, and pastels on paper. Styles vary from traditional, realistic and detailed to more simplified, contemporary. Subjects include close-up florals, garden scenes, still life and open landscape. Christine's work tends to be medium to smaller size (that is, 24 inches, 60cm or less) with a few occasional larger ones. Please note that the works are ALL originals; there are no prints of any kind on offer.
