ART SUNDAY; An Extravaganza of Colour.

ART SUNDAY

An Extravaganza of Colour.

Today I want to celebrate ‘COLOUR’………….I feel in great need of colour at the moment, our lives can become very grey at this time of year. A couple of weeks ago Nemo featured an artist called Leonid Afremov, his use of colour is magnificent, if Nemo hadn’t featured him I think I probably would devote the whole blog to him.

 Leonid Afremov (born 1955) is a Jewish Belarusian painter who now paints in America. His paintings are often vividly-coloured landscapes, cityscapes and figures, and are typically painted using a palette knife and oil paint.

But today, instead of featuring just one artist I’ve chosen a couple of different artists who are connected by their obvious love and enjoyment of colour. Two of these artists, Connie Tom and Maryse Casol, I’ve featured before but the last is someone I have only recently come across.

Connie Tom is an American Painter who describes herself; ''I'm an artist from Missouri who paints luminous paintings after the manner of the Hudson River School of Painting’’.  

Maryse Casol (born December 7, 1957)

is a French contemporary artist and follows in the footsteps of Matisse and Derain, he is one of the central figure in the Neo-Fauvism movement.

The next artist is called Catherine Horvath-Buchanan and she is a Canadian painter living and working in Ontario.
I came across this artist quite by accident. Our friend Kathy advised me to check out the Etsy site for selling hand made and craft goods. I checked it out and came across an online shop selling these paintings. I just love the colours this woman uses.

On her site she says; ‘The art I create is the product of my years spent at art school, practical experimentation and quiet observation. Over time my art has evolved to include many different styles and modes of working, most recently I have included among them abstracted folk art landscapes’.
These works can be found on the artists own web sites.
