Cecil Kennedy Art

British, 1905-1997

Cecil Kennedy born in Leyton, London, on February 4, 1905, was a British painter best known for his highly detailed oil paintings of flowers. After training at art school, Kennedy studied under several artists, the most influential being Nieco Jungmann. He also studied in Antwerp and Paris and was awarded a silver medal at the Paris Salon in 1956 and a gold medal in 1970. Kennedy’s carefully delineated flower paintings have been likened to those of the Dutch 17th-century masters in approach and devotion to detail. Kennedy has held exhibitions in London, Paris, New York and Johannesburg and exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, the Royal Hibernian and the Royal Scottish Academy.

Olga Antonova "Two Turquoise, White and Silver Cups Stacked" Oil on Canvas 12 x 12 Inches Olga Antonova’s subject is compositions of extraordinarily elegant, beautiful and whimsical cups, plates, teapots, vases and dishes, but there is something playful about these paintings. Stacked teacups are also amusing, having a kind of jaunty and upbeat personality of their own. Polka dots are as endearing to adults as to children, and everyone responds to the bling and sparkle of gold and silver while marveling at Antonova’s seemingly effortless ability to paint these radiant details...

By Oliver Clare

Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire

***PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 13 INCHES X 16 INCHES*** Oliver Clare British, (1853-1927) Still Life of Fruit & Still Life of Flowers Oil on canvas, pair, both signed & dated ‘92 Image size: 6 inches x 9 inches (each) Size including frame: 13 inches x 16 inches (each) An appealing pair of still life paintings by Oliver Clare. The first painting shows primroses and lilac blossom next to a red berry. In the second, damsons can be seen next to apples and a strawberry. Oliver Clare was born in Birmingham in 1853, the son of the flower artist George Clare (1839-1890) and his wife Elizabeth Bowen. His brother Vincent Clare (1856-1917) also became an artist and both would have received tuition from their father who influenced their style and subject matter. At the age of 18 he enlisted as a soldier in the Kings Own regiment, but gave this up to become a full time artist. Like his father, Clare specialised in still life paintings, containing fruit and garden flowers, often on mossy banks. Sometime after 1871, he moved to London where he married Emma Mary Webb...
