Today’s #OnlineArtExchange theme ‘gold, silver & bronze’

Horses first appeared in Elisabeth Frink’s work when she moved to Camargue in France, known its for herds of semi-wild horses. It was the anatomy and wildness of the Camargue horses that she returned to for inspiration in her work.

A horse sculpture rendered in bronze. It is a very tactile piece, with lots of rough and worked marks across the horse.A fuller view of the horse sculpture, showing strong legs, a small body, and a short neck.

Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'rural' for The Argyll Collection on Tour 🖼️

This view was painted by Dermod O'Brien near his birthplace, Mount Trenchard, in Co. Limerick. O'Brien depicts a rich landscape of cornfields with newly-harvested stooks stretching down to the wide grey Shannon.

A painting of a field with hay gathered in piles. The day is bright, with blue sky peaking through clouds, and in the distance we can see the sea.

🌊Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'life by the sea' for 'John Bellany: Anchored' at Scottish Fisheries Museum!

This small seascape, 'Surge of the Sea, Ardglass', is atmospheric and full of movement. Painted by Hans Iten, the fluent Impressionistic manner is typical of his style.

A painting of the sea as it meets a rocky coast. In the foreground we see a small inlet with two rocky cliffs, the waves going from deep blue to white as they smack against the rocks.

To paint 'The Green Coat', Lavery emulated techniques used by Diego Velázquez: the coat appears finely painted from afar, but when examined closely becomes a complex pattern of abstract brushstrokes.

Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'reflections' 🪞

Sir John Lavery’s full-length portraits usually have an air of theatrical formality - however, the warm firelight and Hazel’s unadorned shoulders make 'The Green Coat' a tender and intimate study of his wife.
