Alice Renshaw was an accomplished professional English artist, born around 1850. Although she painted both landscapes and portraits, she is best known for her half portraits of beautiful young women, especially in fancy hats. Alice married Robert Pullman and they lived at Limerston Street, Chelsea, London. Her work was exhibited in major galleries between 1881 and 1892. She died in Fulham in 1900, aged only 50. © Big Sky Fine Art This original watercolor and gouache painting by Alice Renshaw is typical of her best work. It depicts a beautiful young woman with blue green eyes, who is wearing a soft white collared blouse and a large wide brimmed straw hat. The hat is decorated with a profusion of wild meadow flowers, including daisies and red poppies, with smaller blue flowers and some green foliage. There is a matching corsage on the front of the sitter’s blouse. The sitter has long curly brown hair which is loose down her back, and she has a pleasant and engaged expression. Some of Renshaw’s work shows society ladies in fashionable attire, but this painting showcases a very natural look, which gives it a timeless appeal. The detail and color in this painting are exquisite. It is an extremely charming and attractive piece.

First Light Mother And Baby Welsh Blanket Love Spoon Framed Maternity Painting
By Elin Sian Blake
Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset
Elin Siân Blake. Welsh ( b.1981). First Light. Oil On Canvas. Signed Lower Left. Image size 23.4 inches x 17.3 inches ( 59.5cm x 44cm ). Frame size 28.5 inches x 22.4 inches ( 72.5cm x 57cm ). Available for sale; this original painting is by the contemporary Welsh artist Elin Sian Blake. The painting is presented and supplied in a sympathetic frame (which is shown in these photographs) and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower left. 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 books, originally producing very detailed photo-realistic images. Her artistic style developed considerably over the years, becoming more expressive. Blake’s main emphasis is always her love of images from the Welsh countryside and industry. As she explores the heritage of the Welsh valleys, she paints a social commentary on everyday Welsh working life. Her work captures the essence of Welsh tradition whilst simultaneously challenging societal norms. Bold and evocative, Blake's art invites the viewer to take a critical look at the complexities and nuances of Welsh heritage. By melding her artistic vision with a profound cultural understanding, she presents a thought-provoking examination of the past, present, and future of Wales. © Big Sky Fine Art This is a stunning and very tender image of a mother and baby, sitting by a window in the first light of a new day. It is all the more intimate because it is in fact a self-portrait of the artist shortly after the birth of her own daughter. The baby is wrapped in a soft cream blanket and is being held to her mother’s breast, feeding or sleeping after feeding. The mother, dazzingly beautiful, is captured in the dappled light of the new dawn. The background is sparse, making the image almost timeless. The young woman is sitting on a modest wooden chair and on the wall behind her is a hand-carved traditional Welsh love spoon...
