I wanted to share these gorgeous skyscapes by Graham Nickson available at Alpha Gallery in Boston. Watercolor can achieve really rich work, here’s another case in point.

Nickson’s impressionism in these paintings (the style, not the movement) and concentrated colors remind me of Georgia O’Keeffe‘s abstract landscapes (see below).

SAY you’re not super knowledgeable about art, but you do know you love _______ (enter famous artist here). You may have observed that your love of Picasso or Klimt won’t do you much good in the pursuit of living with art; the truth is you probably aren’t going to fork over millions to park these artists’ paintings in your den. However, with a bit of guidance, you can draw on these preferences as a means to develop your taste on current (and affordable) art.
This series will help you do just that: each week I’ll match a major artist of the 19th or 20th c. (e.g. Henri Matisse, Mark Rothko, Keith Haring) with current independent artists who share the artist’s style, subject, color palette, etc. Although there’s nothing wrong with enjoying print reproductions of famous artists, now you’ll have other enticing options to consider.
Please feel free to leave suggestions for future artists. Thanks!
