I'm a huge fan of 'Lines and Colors' and am always really interested to read about the various artists that he writes about. We share a number of artistic interests and it's always great to find that he's posted about yet another new artist that appeals to me - especially when I know that every post will come with a bunch of helpful links to sources of images and information on the net. I'm sometimes able to suggest an extra site as a reference source or a 'must see' exhibition.A lot of people comment that they don't know how I manage to find the time to do what I do. I have a confession. I'm always in awe of the way that Charley can produce a class article day after day - all of which are well researched, thoughtful, insightful and well written! It just so happens that today I'm the subject!
I particularly liked this comment - picture me with a big beaming smile at this point!
I like the range of colors she finds in surfaces that are ostensibly white, whether in the walls of buildings or simple still life subjects like eggs in a bowl or fruit on a white surface.You can find the images he used in the Houses and Gardens gallery on my website.
Now I return to matting and framing for an exhibition...........
Its a wonderful post that he wrote about you and your work Katherine. And very well deserved too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanette.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Katherine, well deserved! (I love your range of whites as well...)
ReplyDeleteI must confess I do love looking for colours in whites!
ReplyDeleteThat top pastel is stunning! What movement!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see this excellent tribute when you are preparing for an exhibition, Katherine. Your generosity and inspiration spurs so many of us on. And yes, Charley is so right about your whites and your skills as an artist.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee and Robyn
ReplyDeleteThe top pastel is of a pastel of the Palacio de Mondragon, Ronda - this link to my blog post explains the rather interesting story behind it - very much a matter of turning a failure into a success and one that I remind myself of every time I come back from a plein air outing with what appears at first glance to be a duff ouitcome!
I'm so happy for you, Katherine. You know how much I love your work and wish you could clone yourself so you'd be able to devote one of you to fulltime painting and drawing.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting and encouraging story about a fantastic painting - and shows clearly your hard working ethic. Congratulations on the Charley Parker post, it's great!
ReplyDeleteShould we congratulate you on being featured on Charley's blog, or him on being featured on yours? ;) (Two equally excellent blogs!) It's good to see he has highlighted your beautiful artwork as well as how informative your site is.
ReplyDeleteThere's wonderful movement creating a rhythm in these pieces with architectural subjects, lovely. Mutual admiration brings out the best in us! A well deserved tribute indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments - I'm very much enjoying my brief moment in the spotlight!
ReplyDeleteFelicity - good point - I think Charley deserves a longer post which I need to do soon!
Hi Katherine, I've just been to you website after reading his article and I can only say, wow, your work is amazing! A real inspiration to us all! I love the way you stay true to the mediums you use and the way you see colour (in a impressionistic manner) amazing!

ReplyDeleteI catch up on Charlie about once a week and have your posts come to my email. How wonderful to have an article about you and from someone like Charlie who is so well respected. Bravo and so well deserved.
Congratulations on the well deserved attention to all of the work you do to keep us up to date on happenings in the art world. I look forward to reading your blog every day because I always learn about something or somebody new. And your artwork is always an added treat. I love the softness of your colors.
ReplyDeleteindeed indeed congratulations and I echo too how well deserved!
