Jules Elie Peonies by Katharine Rowe floral painting of peonies
By Katharine Rowe
Located in London, GB
Katharine spent a long time mixing paint to reach the right level of smokiness and avoid any saccharine pink in these peonies. They seem to be quite solid but at the same time quite delicate, they are a joy to paint. Katharine Rowe is an English painter she graduated in Fine Art and History of Art at the University of Edinburgh in 1999 and spent a year studying at Université de la Sorbonne, Paris. Having spent a decade working in advertising Katharine felt the increasing need to be out of the office and with her paintbrush. The past 9 years have been dedicated to just that. Katharine is strongly motivated by colour and she often spends up to an hour mixing and preparing paints before turning to the canvas. Katharine is always inspired by her surroundings from the varied landscapes of London...

Grapes and French Cheese
Located in Woodbury, CT
Oil on panel, signed and dated 2001. French wooden frame in ivory with gold leaf. Unframed size: 19.7 inches high x 23.6 inches wide. Framed size: 26.4 inches high x 30.5 inches wide x 1 inch deep. Sold framed. The first Eyckmans’ painting to employ a brighter, golden palette, this everyday kitchen scene explores the differing textures of the objects within. The artist’s love of all things French is exemplified here with antique pottery, a starched linen tablecloth, breadboard and, of course, fruit and favorite cheeses. Note the superb shadowing of the board extending over the table, the detailing in the chèvre and paper wrapping to the left, and the asymmetrical cluster of stemmed Muscat grapes, all illuminated by easterly light. Classical in perspective and execution, but with a more contemporary feel that derives from the use of color and light, this painting marks a transformational point in the artist’s work. This painting is available for viewing at The Elemental Garden...

White Peonies from Covent Garden

This was the flower artist Katherine Rowe had in her wedding bouquet and so they have always had a special place in my heart. Despite being 'white' there is hardly any actual pure white in the painting but multiple blues and yellows and greens.

Framed size: 44.1 inches high x 49.2 inches wide x 1.5 inches deep. Sold framed. Quinces are a symbol of fertility, and for the artist, they’re adored for their voluptuous, irregular shape. To him, imperfect fruits are more realistic, more truthful, and most beautiful. In this large composition, the bright, primary coloring of the quinces is heightened by their placement in front of the vintage oil can...

Although her work is mostly representational, she allows the mark-making and textures created as she layers the paint, to inform the image.

I strive to create an atmosphere with my works; from the calmness and serenity of Morandi-inspired clusters of pots and vessels...

Erik Jerken, Still Life With Flowers & Book, Oil Painting
By Erik Jerken
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This expressive mid-20th-century oil painting by Swedish artist Erik Jerken (1898-1947) depicts a still life with flowers and a book. Set against a turquoise wall, the tangled forms of vibrant blooms emerge from a conical vase. They lean, droop, and twist in a wild dance. Somewhat uncontrolled, unbeautified, and natural. Jerken was a modernist and known for his buoyant still lifes. He often used strong background colours to add dynamism to his arrangements. Here we see the influence of Van Gogh and Matisse...
