PAM CARTER (1952 - 2022) was born in Tanzania, East Africa.  Her Scottish father and Austrian mother came to Glasgow when she was 13.  She gained a degree at Glasgow School of Art and lectured for many years in schools and colleges.  Throughout this time she exhibited her paintings and became a full time artist in 2003. “My main inspiration is in Scottish land and seascape.  I enjoy using colours to define contours, structures and changing light sequences.  I search out specific viewpoints and am equally inspired by the changing light of the Western Isles and the dramatic coastline.  I work predominantly in oils.” She has received various awards for her work and has featured in many publications such as Living Magazine and International Artist, as well as appearing in BBC programmes.

Lovely composition on all of these, and I do like the almost ‘graphic’ qualities that I’m seeing… very clever stuff!

I find these a bit of a shock to the system at the moment as we are surrounded by shades of white and grey here weather wise! I like her clean style of painting but the colour is a little too strong for me. Have we seen her work before or does it remind me of someone else?

Tessa, we haven’t looked at her work before, but it is similar to one or two others we’ve seen.  This time of year can be so miserable, thought a bit of colour might cheer things up.   (I’d happily hibernate for the winter months!)

John Reginald Brunston 1933 - 2014 , was a British printmaker and artist born in Cheltenham. He studied at the Cheltenham College of Art from 1949  - 1953, after National Service he attended the Royal College of Art from 1955 - 1958. I hope you enjoy my selection of his work ,do look on line as there is many more examples to choose from .
