24.01.2022 Rebecca Pierce | Still life with coffee | Acrylic on cnavas | 160 x 120 cms | 2020 . . Artist Statement: The process of painting is for me a metaphor for life and creation. As we are a part of nature our energies flow through what we do and often the materials we use. For me the paint is often imbued with a sense of the Artist themselves. Applying and moving the medium around the canvas, offering the medium its own flow and path, and at other times controlling and orchestr...ating its position and presence, manipulating its lead, creates a tension, being again another state of flux. These random movements, both innate and subliminal, engendering form and structure, can often provide a sense of verity and validity . #rebeccapierce #stilllife #coffee #cookshillgalleries #markwiddup #newcastle #cookshill #vase #flowers #acrylic #canvas #australianartist #painting #vivid #artoftheday #instaart ##saatchiart #spring See more

21.01.2022 Dorothée Heibel | Les Papilions | Acrylic on Canvas | 61 x 61 cms | 2018 . . Artwork Statement: Our planet’s nature never ceases to amaze me. Take butterflies for instance, small and delicate and brilliant dancers. Here they are caught in the up-wind on a balmy summer’s day, not touching one another no matter what twists and turns they take. .... #dorotheeheibel #markwiddup #lespapillions #cookshillgalleries #newcastle #cookshill #butterflies #rememberance #joshwiddup #happybirthday #33 #acrylic #canvas #artoftheday #painting #art #artist #saatchiartist See more

20.01.2022 John Maitland | Islander girls | Acrylic oil on board | 120 x 120 cms | 2020 . . Artist Statement: In the work Islander Girls I wanted a symphony of colour and beauty to adequately describe the tropical Heat and heady... atmosphere of the Islands, the central figure gazes away from the artist as she passes to fill her basket with ruby red mangoes for the family table. - John Maitland . #johnmaitland #islandergirls #markwiddup #cookshillgalleries #acrylic #oil #board #orange #newartworks #paintingoftheday #cookshill #newcastle #island #tropical #instaart #artoftheday #saatchiart See more

16.01.2022 SUSAN WEAVER | LAKE AND OCEAN | OIL AND PASTEL ON PAPER | 66 X 100 CMS | 2016 . . Artist Statement: My work is the culmination of my imagination and reality. Inspired by the landscape and weather patterns, symbols are constructed that have specific meaning to me. Images are created from memory. Themes are often revisited over time exploring the inter connections of living things and natural occurrences on the planet.... The works are multi - layered revealing previous grounds that lie beneath the surface. Colour, and the combinations of colour are an integral aspect of my practice. I am interested in the metaphysics of painting and the aboriginal sense of place and belonging to a pattern or cycle of life . #susanweaver #lakeandocean #oil #pastel #paper #painting #cookshillgalleries #newcastle #markwiddup #artoftheday #instaart #saatchiart #seascape #australianartist #bluesandreds See more

13.01.2022 The gallery in their 46th year can overlook the fact exhibitions and artwork exhibiting are only part of its services. In fact the experiences and volume of art assessed and appraised over this time highlights the depth of knowledge of Australian art - 2d and 3d, gained by myself. (i) Valuations: for insurance or market value for buyers/sellers, those that inherit art, discover, or want an assessment or appraisal.... (ii) Advice for buying/selling: the director's art experience is based upon decades of hands on managing an active art gallery, providing an understanding of colonial, impressionist, modern and contemporary periods. (iii) Art selection: often potential buyers are overwhelmed or time poor and need assistance to define their art taste? Having a confidante to assist makes this process an easier one, avoiding the pitfalls and having the benefit of art knowledge to draw upon. (iv) Framing and representation: We only offer this service for the collector or the more valuable artwork, as it is time consuming and can be exacting. (v) Restoration: is initially one of art assessment & feasibility? Assessing the art will identify if it is worthy to proceed or not? A recommendation on scope of work and how to proceed follows. (vi) Art investment: the choice of an artwork which offers growth, future demand, and represents a fine example of an artist's work must be assessed if this is a buyers intention. Most art will not gain in value, a fact that is one to digest! To preview art in your home or office or if you require art advice, don't hesitate to contact me directly on 0418 492 259. Yours in art, Mark Widdup

08.01.2022 Phil Stallard | White Bay, Haiku | Acrylic & charcoal on canvas | 118 x 194 cms | 2020 . . Artist's Statement: This is a Sydney painting from a different perspective... White Bay and the old Balmain power station is probably the last place to be developed... the power station dominates the skyline ...this is where I used to work in the 80’s. This is the place where Dawn Fraser used to swim, the harbour water warm from the power station outlet. It’s a simple literal paintin...g, the line between gesture, abstraction and reality is very fine... All conveyed with charcoal drawing .... . #philstallard #whitebayhaiku #sydney #balmain #cookshillgalleries #markwiddup #cookshill #newcastle #powerstation #acrylic #charcoal #instaart #paintingoftheday #australianartist #canvas #blue See more
