Art Wednesday: Keith Cowlam

Gulf of Cascogne

Artist: Keith Cowlam (1946-  )
Born: United Kingdom, moved to Australia in 1977
Contemporary artist: Artist and print maker

I don't know why I like these paintings - perhaps because some of the scenes look so familiar to me (places I went to as a child), or perhaps it is the contrast of the colours that attract me.  Or perhaps because these paintings capture summer, I can feel the warmth of the sun on my back and smell the summer grasses.  I don't know - but some reason I like these - even is they are very controlled and smooth.

To my dear brother Nick (if you are reading this) - do these paintings remind you of your childhood?
