Lise Temple is an Australian artist and is best known for her abstract and semi-abstract landscapes, inspired by the colours, contrasting light and broad shapes of the agricultural landscape. She attempts to capture the natural forms, textures, colours and patterns of nature in what I would class as semi-abstract.
She often paints on large canvases with big brushes and knife, and although not well known (yet) in the UK she has made quite a name for herself in Australia.
Probably not my normal choice of style but there’s just something about her work that I find fresh and exciting…

Interesting and as Alan says fresh and exciting. I prefer the ones Dixie has posted they make more sense to me , those trees are amazing. I don't like the two interiors at all I feel that I want to get in there and clear them up.I agree Sylvia. The others are not veryinspiring to a beginner like me.

The last but one - I fear has managed to make a rock look like a face: this is fantastically easy to do, I've certainly done it, but unless you actually meant to, it's something to be avoided.
Leaving that aside though, I like these paintings; and Sylvia, if you're in search of interiors to clean up, my little flat, aka the Batcave, is in urgent want of your attention.
I like this artist's clean colours, which reflect the Australian light as I've seen it in numerous photographs and films - knife paintings on a big scale for a vast continent seem very appropriate.

As it's Wednesday - here's my intro to Edward Bawden.
Edward Bawden, CBE RA (10 March 1903 – 21 November 1989) was an English painter, illustrator and graphic artist, known for his prints, book covers, posters, and garden metalwork furniture.
Bawden taught at the Royal College of Art, where he had been a student, worked as a commercial artist and served as a war artist in World War II.
He was a fine watercolour painter but worked in many different media. He illustrated several books and painted murals in both the 1930s and 1960s.[1]
His work and career are often associated with that of his contemporary Eric Ravilious with whom he shared a house at one point.
Bawden had no issue moving from fine art to commercial work and wanted to have as many opportunities as possible to have his work appreciated.
He designed pamphlets, posters and wallpaper and a large body of his archive can be seen at the Cecil Higgins Museum in Bedford.
He is often cited as one of the fathers of the linocut and produced many superb examples which can be found online.
One of his heroes was the artist and designer William Morris.
This is a 1984 Anglia TV programme about Bawden with interviews.

This is an interesting short film about Bawden's role as a war artist and how his sketches and watercolours from that
time were reused in his post-war work.

I've included a few of his pieces below, but there are countless more to be found online.
Four Linocuts - Covent Garden, The Tower of London, Lindsell Church and Brighton Pier.
A couple of Lithographs- The Market Gardener and The Vicar
and a war-time watercolour:

I know his name well in connection with Eric Ravilious but was not familiar with his work. I love linocuts and have chosen a few including a couple of his more quirky ones - A Frog and an Ox, and Peacock and Magpie - both illustrations from Aesop’s Fables. The first is Autumn. These are mostly about 17” x 22”. (We will be looking later at another printmaker and linocut artist, Sybil Andrews; also the artist and designer William Morris whom Andrew mentions in his write-up as one of Bawden’s heroes.)
