Osvald Timmas Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

1913-2005

Osvald Timmas was born in 1913 in the County of Kärla, Saaremaa, Estonia. He studied economics at the University of Tartu from 1939–44. Then, Timmas studied art with prominent artists like Nikolai Kummits in Tartu from 1939–42 and Günther Reindorff in Tallinn from 1943–44. Followed by studies in Illustrative Arts in Stockholm, Sweden, from 1947–50. In 1951, Timmas moved to Canada, he established himself as a professional artist, and became a Canadian Citizen in 1956. Timmas worked in watercolour, oil and acrylic paintings. He pioneered his watercolour technique using a ferric oxide, a more permanent pigment- producing bold and bright colours. He was an instructor and lecturer throughout his career. Also, Timmas was a member of The Royal Canadian Academy.

Balancing act 2 (Abstract Painting)
By Tracey Adams
Located in London, GB
Balancing act 2 (Abstract Painting) Gouache, graphite and ink on Rives paper. Unframed. Balancing Act 2 is part of a series of works on paper started in 2016. They are created in the evenings and aptly named after busy days of teaching and other responsibilities. The artist establishes parameters involving the use of a particular palette, certain mark-making gestures and amount of time spent on each drawing. This work incorporates graphite, ink, and gouache, and is a combination of intuition-based and planned execution. Tracey Adams is an American abstract painter and printmaker. Her artworks reflect a strong interest in musical patterns, rhythms, lyrical compositional elements and what she calls a sense of performance. She lives and works in Carmel, California. Work by Adams is part of the permanent collections of several museums, including the Bakersfield Art Museum, the Monterey Museum of Art, the Fresno Art Museum, the Tucson Art...

He showed his work with other abstract artists, including Robert Natkin and John Chamberlain.
