Elin Siân Blake. Welsh ( b.1981). Polo Match, Cirencester, Player Leading Pony. Watercolor On Paper. Signed Lower Right. Image size 11.2 inches x 15.4 inches ( 28.5cm x 39cm ). Frame size 16.9 inches x 20.9 inches ( 43cm x 53cm ). Available for sale; this original painting is by the contemporary Welsh artist Elin Sian Blake. The watercolor is presented and supplied in a glazed sympathetic frame (which is shown in these photographs) and is supplied ready to hang and display. The watercolor is signed lower right. Elin Siân Blake is a contemporary Brecon-based artist, originally from the South Wales valleys, whose work delves deeply into the rich tapestry of Welsh heritage. Through various mediums, she creates poignant reflections of societal and cultural issues that have shaped the Welsh identity. Born in 1981, Elin Siân Blake began producing commissioned artwork from an early age, focussing on the traditional Welsh ponies and landscapes of her childhood. She was particularly inspired by the agricultural and equestrian events she attended. As a teenager she spent all her spare money on art supplies. Blake graduated from the University of Glamorgan in 2002 with a degree in graphic design and illustration, but quickly realised that she wanted to create conventional paintings, rather than producing digital images. She then spent several years living on the road in vintage vehicles, painting the scenes and characters she encountered on her travels. Blake taught herself oil painting using library...

While charcoal is naturally a loose drawing medium, David Becker uses it with precision. With a rich range of value and strong darks, Becker captures the fine details with exacting clarity. In his drawing "Pritzlaff - 1903", the subject, a male with a glazed look, is wielding an ax and pointing a finger at the viewer. This drawing is framed in a simple black frame. The artist has signed with his initials and year on the front and signed his full name on the back of the piece.
