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.

Peter Ross is a Welsh artist living in England and currently producing paintings about his childhood in South Wales in the 1950’s and 60’s. Peter was born in Llanfrechfa, South Wales in 1941. He grew up in Newport and studied at Newport Art College from 1958-62 and then at Bristol Art College from 1962-63. For most of his working life he worked as an art teacher in secondary schools and before retiring in 2007, as an art technician. He now teaches life drawing to adults and exhibits his work in galleries in England and Wales. Since his time as an art student Peter has continued to paint for himself. He has always chosen themes which appealed to him at specific times such as conflict, journeys, faces and cultural/literary figures. Each phase of interest and painting usually lasting one to two years and resulting in an exhibition before starting on the next subject of interest. Peter’s work has been mostly narrative-based or representational, with one abstract phase immediately after leaving art college. In recent years his interest has returned to his childhood and his memories of Newport, South Wales. These paintings are based on family and archive photographs, memories, research and other influences like Dylan Thomas. Peter has had numerous one person and joint shows. His has also taken part in the Royal Academy Summer Show, The Arts Council of Wales, South Wales Group and Welsh Artist of the Year Show 2008. He has recently exhibited at the Riverfront Gallery in Newport, the Ardent Gallery, Brecon and the Nick Holly...
