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.

More About Alison

I gained my B.A Honours in Ceramics at Camberwell College of Art in London. Since graduating in 1996 I have set up a purpose built ceramic studio at home in Abingdon, South Oxfordshire. My work incorporates both sculptural and functional forms. This includes figurative work, garden pots, vases and recent Venetian and Cornwall inspired three dimensional pieces. All my work derives from my love of drawing. No two pieces are identical as all my work is hand built. I combine making with teaching children and adults of all ages and abilities, in a wide variety of places.

Atmospheric contemporary seascape paintings from David James

Especially commissioned for us, these stunning contemporary seascape paintings are beautifully painted and full of atmosphere.

David James was born in London in 1944 and moved to Outer London in the fifties. He currently lives in Sussex on the coast, within reach of the South Downs. He is married to an artist and has three children. Much of the inspiration for his work is drawn from the Lake District, Devon and Cornwall, and the Welsh Countryside. David has exhibited his works at the Royal Academy and in leading provincial galleries.

Superb original oil paintings of the sea from Marina Emphietzi.

Ideal as a pair, this range of original oils demonstrates the considerable talents of Marina Emphietzi to great effect.

Marinas’ work explores issues of time, life and memory. Through painting she channels life experiences to create works of art. Marina grew up in a house by the sea in Famagusta, Cyprus ; a home she lost in the trauma of war.

Although she didn’t set out to produce art about anything specific, as her portfolio developed over the years, she realised that the pleasure and energy she was getting from painting was when she focused on water, boats, beaches, marinas, wet stones and rocks. Subjects emanating from childhood memories of her early life by the sea.

Using strong tonal forms and a vivid colour palette Marina’s paintings are visual representations of conversations and inner feelings. Infused in time and space they act as a reminder of what has happened in the past. These moments become pathways for understanding the connections we share as humans with each other and with the natural world that surrounds us.
