Excellent paintings of flowers from Mary Shaw

Well known artist Mary Shaw has created some superb new original paintings in her unique and very recognisable style.

Mary Shaw was born in Bristol, where she still resides and has her studio today. An entirely self- taught artist, she demonstrated an aptitude for painting from childhood, and completed her first commission at the age of just thirteen. As an adult, she spent four years living in Zimbabwe and Cape Town, where she began to establish herself as a professional artist.

On returning to the UK, Mary rediscovered her affection for the English countryside, having been struck by the vastly differing landscapes of her two homes. She was particularly interested in the rare and endangered species found amongst England’s hedgerows, and began to depict them in her paintings.

“Nature is always in my paintings. I love delicate flowers and grasses and am fascinated with movement – the sight of flowers an grasses blowing in the wind is truly beautiful.”

Vibrant sailing paintings from well known artist Dale Bowen

Dale Bowen has created some evocative and dynamic scenes of sailing boats in striking colours.

As Dale says, When painting I like to use a variety of mediums as I feel the need to experiment and master as many methods as possible. I sometimes work from crude sketches as well as photographs as a varied approach allows for more creativity. My creative work is inspired from a number of different sources, observation or even conversation and always surprises me in the ever unusual ways it catches me.
