To say that Leanne Pearson (above) is a 'good' artist is a bit like saying Einstein was a little clever :) described as 'artiste extraordinaire' is so much more apt! This is Leanne's first solo exhibition in ten years and apart from some of the commissioned works all of the paintings here have been completed in the last five months.. many of you reading this are artists yourselves and will surely appreciate the play of light that so perfectly captures the glow of warmth on a summers evening in the beach scenes below.. so worth a click to see the details...

The venue for the art show in Mosman Park was stunning, will show you more of that on Wednesday. After a week of gloomy 'Federal budget' news.. you did vote 'the Abbott' in fellow Aussies, WHAT were you thinking :) it was refreshing to see through the eyes of an artist that the simple pleasures of life will always be free! Hope your week is off to a happy start, take care.....
She does exquisitely beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteCharming work. Very relaxing to look at. And Leanne's work is bad either.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan. Love the colors, the whimsical nature of some of her work. I'm trying to think of the right word - flow, maybe - she captures the flow of nature and of people so well. The everyday kinds of things she paints reminds me a bit of Norman Rockwell. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAlmost like a photo! Cool!
ReplyDeleteAlways great to talk to artists. Nice portrait of Leanne.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this kind of art!What a fabulous artist! I'm glad you let us know about her!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible artist she is!! Wow!! I do agree with Lowell and I love her paintings and the everyday things she paints and the detail she captures! I'm awestruck!! Thank you so much for sharing these, Grace!! Have a great new week!!
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing art, Grace! Just plain wow.
ReplyDeleteLove to look at the three Kookaburras above my PC btw :-)
They are very uplifting, cheerful works! I like them, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blend of very traditional representational painting but with a decidedly modern look. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! She's incredibly talented!
ReplyDeleteTruely wonderful paintings! Arianna
ReplyDeleteVery well done, the perspective, color and subjects! You just really have to bring it all together to get to that point.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect collage, the waves are super.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

I like her work!!! Is she a local???
ReplyDeleteShe certainly has a strong style - Mary Cassat-like pictures of women and children with a constant aqua-orange vibration.
ReplyDeleteShe' s an amazing artist. Some of these look so life like.
ReplyDeleteBob Crowe beat me to it. The paintings with the children are very Mary Cassatt reminders. Lovely work; she is really gifted.
ReplyDeleteShe would fit right in our circle, eh, Dear?

Yes, Very modern Cassatt! Love the light.
DeleteThat's incredible Grace. I love the artwork. I have always been a fan of realism rather than abstract and these paintings are pure joy. So talented to be able to paint and produce this art in such a short time.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful artist, I hadn't heard of her before. They are so life-like they looks like photos. 5 months to paint all that, amazing! I searched for the exhibition place on google maps, and what a wonderful house and the views must have been amazing...
ReplyDeleteYes, just wonderful works of art. I do love lots of light and colour in paintings... nice style too. Well done, again, Gracie.
ReplyDeleteShe's definitely a gifted artist! Not only can she draw well, but she has a knack for painting emotion as well.
ReplyDeletewow, very talented...i love her work!
ReplyDeleteExceptionally beautiful work here! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings! I think my favorite is the one with the little girls sitting with their backs to each other playing in the sand.
ReplyDeleteIt is so rare to see a real and capable painter who portraits real people in contemporary settings. I am very happy to say 'brava' to this very talented artist!
ReplyDeleteJings! You've found a 'proper artist' at last!
