New work from Stewart Edmondson

Stewart has been painting in the snow. A recent visit to his roots in the Yorkshire moors, followed by a trip to the Lakes has provided us with some unusual pieces. Stewart is fascinated by the power of nature and frequently portrays the stormy skies and raging rivers that she creates. These five paintings were produced in difficult conditions, indeed on one day the paint wash Stewart was applying froze instantly and eventually ruined the effect he was looking for. Stewart then used hot water to mix his paints and was able to achieve the colour bleeding he was seeking. Most collectors love the energy and emotion Stewart conveys so successfully. It helps to transport the viewer to the location of the painting more successfully than a photograph ever could. More...
