About the Item

Highly impasto still life of brightly colored flowers in a vase by Doreen Gadsby (Australian, b. 1926). Signed "Gadsby" in lower right corner. Presented in a green wood frame. Image size: 44.25"H x 22.13"W Doreen Gadsby (Australian, b. 1928) was born to a farming family in Lismore, Australia, and later studied at East Sydney Technical College (now the National Art School) in Darlinghurst during World War II. As a young mother of four, she joined the same art club as Lloyd Rees and a 17-year-old Brett Whiteley. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Ottowa and Sydney since the 1960s. Her fourth husband was John Coburn, a celebrated abstract artist. After his death, she returned to painting full time, and despite continual issues with eyesight - bright light has an adverse affect on her vision - she wakes up at 4am every morning to paint.

  • Harvest Still Life
    By Lu Haskew
    Located in Loveland, CO
    Harvest Still Life​ by Lu Haskew Oil 18x25" image size, 24x31" framed Still Life of an abundant vegetable garden harvest with onions, eggplant, cabbage and tomato ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
