Good evening and welcome to this weeks thread there is a change to the artists featuring this week as I unfortunately missed a artist of the original list and and Andrew Ro,se has kindly agreed to feature him on Wednesday.
The two artists this week are Ethel Kilpatrick and Maja Wronska .
I will open this evening with Ethel Kilpatrick and on Wednesday Andy Will introduced Maja Wronska .
Ethel Kilpatrick 1869 - 1966 was a British painter , printmaker and jeweller
she was a marine artist and landscape painter mainly in oils and watercolour but also producing woodcuts. Ethel studied at the Royal Academy School and the Central School of Art and Crafts. Both Ethel and her elder sister Ida traveled to artist’s colonies in St Ives and Walberswick Suffolk thus both appear in biographical lists of Suffolk artists and St Ives Cornwall.
After her fathers’s death a large studio was built for the sisters behind the house in London in which they lived.
Information from Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy my choices of her work .

Morning all. I was introduced to the work of Maja Wronska on a course I was attending and was immediately struck by her interesting style and use of vibrant colours. I haven't found a Wiki page for her, but her web site https://majawronska.com/ contains lots of examples of her work.
Maja was born on January 28th 1989 in Poland and graduated in Architecture from the Warsaw Institute of Technology. She started her own business in 2014 and now collaborates with companies all around the world. She paints in watercolours, mostly of architecturally interesting buildings and cityscapes as the examples below show .
Apologies for the size of most of these images, but you can see them in their full glory at her website : https://majawronska.com/

The church interior is interesting, since it's much the same approach, though of course not the same picture, as those of: names - memory for names is getting ever worse - I I think it's Paul Dmoch, another Polish painter. He may be rather better, taken in the round, though these things are subjective.
One thing is quite clear - this is a trained artist; Poland, like Russia and the Balkan countries generally, have a rigorous tradition of excellent technical art education, including architecture. Self-taught is fine (I would say that....) but there are some things that a really good art education gives you that it's very hard to learn all by yourself: I hope our standards are as high; not sure they are, but then I know little about British art education today.
That painting of the bridge gives it away more than anything else: I would be very nervous of trying that; it would be trial and error, and I suspect there'd be far more error than anything else.
The deep, steely blue in some of her paintings is also familar from Dmoch's palette, and perhaps reflects the typical interior of Poland's largely Roman Catholic churches - plus lots of gold. I must certainly be off to inspect her website.

Another fascinating artist. Oddly, I found myself blowing hot and cold as I looked at her paintings...just my own personal preferences coming into play. The first picture posted by Tessa, a drawing, I thought incredibly good. Then as I looked at the painted architecture images, whilst acknowledging the skills, I found my appreciation dimming. The paintings that have really resonated with me are the woodland and flower pictures, the Eiffel Tower work, and the umbrella painting is sublime. Another great 'find'.
