The Apprentice - figurative family and children - oil on canvas in bold color

2018

About the Item

Friends and onlookers gather under a blue-grey sky as they watch and learn together from an apprentice, in this idyllic scene of people and their day on the coast plays out. The warm scene is dotted with figures in multi-color. A vibrant figurative scene that is mainly green, yellow, orange, blue and red. There is great warmth in Rushton's scenes that capture contemporary life, and leaves viewers able to to create their own interpretations. Thick. lustrous impasto oil on canvas. A complex and rich delight to the senses. William Rushton's work reveals color and shapes that are often familiar and comforting, both in their somewhat melancholy subject matter, and in the thick textural paint that the artist sculpts with brushes and pallet knife to turn abstract into the known. The painting is 48 x 60 inches and is wired and ready to hang and enjoy. Artist signed, dated and titles.
