Something simple for #throwbackthursday.
This one's from 2018. I didn't plan for it to be so loosely painted, it
just developed that way. When I reached this point in the painting, I
felt that anything more would make the flower feel too heavy. - Patrick Saunders

Patrick Saunders Fine Arts - Art Review - "Lime Tree Shade" by Amy Katherine Browning
Today's #museumtourtuesday features a work by British impressionist Amy Katherine Browning. This painting resides in the collection of the Ipswich Museum in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
The
piece is simplistic in its approach, with thick impasto dabs of paint
and almost no attention to detail. It's the color temperatures and
values which make it appear so striking to me. The skin tones of the
girl's face perfectly capture the sense of light coming through the
leaves of the tree. Adding vibrancy to the scene are the cool areas of
blue shade in the far background, as well as her dress. It's an
excellent study in dappled light, especially on the back of the dog.
Born in 1881, Amy Katherine Browning was a favorite student of Gerald Moira,
who often asked her to teach his male student painters. She went on to
win a number of medals from the Paris Salon, including a gold medal for
the painting featured here. Her portrait commissions included Sir
Winston Churchill, as well as his wife, Clementine. She would sign her
work "A.K. Browning" to avoid any gender discrimination. - Patrick Saunders

Art is rarely created without error, or editing. Not even Mozart wrote music perfectly straight from his head.
