astrid fitzgerald


she likes her geometry does astrid fitzgerald and that suits me just fine, as well as a sort of old school formalism in her approach to colour which i can't argue with!

tamara natalie madden


there's something otherworldly about tamara natalie madden's work. i want to copy some of these to get an iudea of how she makes her shapes and gets her colours down. and, obviously, i'm loving all those wee motifs

isabelle malmezat


 isaid the other day i didn't much care for images of animals so decided that was as good as an excuse as any to challenge that so here's this from isabelle malmezat, which is a horse, but only just (i think i was scarred early by pics of horses!). i really like the way she gets the colour down.

pascal laloy


feeling like something calming today and this, by pascal laloy, fits the bill just nicely

thabo motseki


every so often i'll come across an artist that just opens my eyes to a whole new set of perspectives. such is thabo motseki. i'm astonished he isn't better known, especially in these internet days, rather than having to go and live in america or europe.

hiromi nishizaka


i'm just realising i'm not a big fan of pictures of animals but i do like this one. it's attributed to hiromi nishizaka which i find difficult to believe as it's so different from everything else he's done (and not for me at all!). put me right if you know better

virginie demont-breton


it's not often i go old school with the imagery here but i was really taken by this by virginie demont-breton. there's a van gogh connection to the time period she was painting here if you care to google. (no clues - it's not difficult!)

andrey surnov


andrey surnov is another whose website is mostly in russian so i can't find it. this image is atypical (it's attributed to him) but i love the weeds
