Katharine Rowe Art

This original oil on linen painting by British artist Katharine Rowe was painted on a September sunny morning in London's Wimbledon Common. Katharine left the foreground fairly loose...

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 always inspired by her surroundings from the varied landscapes of London...
