Pattern Boundaries   Julie Alpert print pattern

‘Black pattern watercolours’ are the mixed media exploration of physical pattern boundaries by Seattle based artist Julie Alpert. Patternbank are loving Julie’s playful studies of individual pattern and the relationship between their outer boundaries. Mixing watercolour, ink and permanent marker these beautifully created works are of great inspiration. If you happen to be in Seattle over the next couple of days we recommend dropping by Soil Art gallery where Julie is exhibiting until the 27th April.

Michael Dickter   Fleeting Moments of the Natural World inspiration

As paint drips down the canvas we are reminded of the urgency in time to record our thoughts and visions of the world around us. These fleeting moments when beauty surprises and astounds us are shared in Dickter’s desire to create and record the natural world. Dickter captures this with exquisiteness in marks, colour and paint, images of birds and flowers that appear frozen for us to enjoy. You can see more of these fleeting moments at michaeldickter.com

Jonathan McCree   Ever Changing Landscapes inspiration

Jonathan McCree’s landscape paintings take us on an uncharted journey where he plays with scale, colour and perspective. Canvases are torn and cut up then re-assembled so that traditional devices such as foreground, middle and distance become redundant creating a picture with many interesting levels. McCree studied at the University of Sussex and has exhibited world-wide including Art Miami and Palm Beach Art Fair. You can see more of his work at jonathanmccree.com
