I started the "I love this"-posts in january 2011, and will make a montly post with a couple of "I love this" drawings or paintings. Why not applaude something you really admire and love to look at :) Enjoy! As I cannot copy-paste other artists work, I have placed a link on the title.
"Exalibur". Pastelpainting by Leslie Harrison. I find Leslie Harrison one of the best pastelartists. I love her paintings. This painting portraits the horse so gentle and yet very powerful. Leslie masterly controls the pastels showing us the animals soul - not just apperance. The jpg doesn't quite show how wonderful a painting this is, I have her book, where you can see the masterwork much better. But you get the idea here.
"Ellie". Oil-pastelpainting by Sarah Theophilus. I don't see many artists work as excellent with oilpastels. Sarah creates wonderful, colorful and very realistic petportraits. "Ellie" is such a cute, tender looking pup, wonderfully painted.
I love Excalibur too and all of Lesley Harrison's work, she is fantastic with pastels.
ReplyDeleteI love oil pastels too but how Sarah does such fine detail is beyond me. Great work.
