I came across the work of Charleston based painter Lulie Wallace a few weeks ago on Armas Design. The colors and textures grabbed me. I love still life paintings especially when flowers are the subject matter. Lulie is represent at Gregg Irby Fine Art in Atlanta. Check out her website to learn more about her paintings and to find recent works. Above and below a few of my favorites.

Eric Ravilious: Greenhouse Watercolors

Posted on | June 14, 2011 | 4 Comments

The Greenhouse: Cyclamen and Tomatoes

I’m still in full obsession mode for Eric Ravilious. Yesterday I shared a few photos of his pieces for Wedgwood spotted at Andrew Spindler’s shop in Essex, Ma.

Above “The Greenhouse: Cyclamen and Tomatoes” (1935) was recently picked as a top ten favorite watercolor by the Observer’s art critic. Laura Cumming writes,

Ravilious’s greenhouse has the atmosphere of a dream. Everything is in perfect order, yet there is no sign of a gardener, unless perhaps God? Door opens on to door, on to door. The perspective is pristine, the painting so clear, light and symmetrical in both form and content, the white paper burning through the foliage like sunlight. It is the greenhouse from paradise. Ravilious is the lost genius of British art: his plane crashed over Iceland during the second world war. His body was never found.

“The Greenhouse: Cyclamen and Tomatoes” will be on display at the Tate Britian as part of the Watercolour exhibit through August 2011. Below “Cucumber House” included in Ravilious’s Greenhouse series painted in 1935. The watercolors can also be purchased as a giclee prints through artrepublic.com.
