Clare WHITE (1903-1997) A Day in Grindelwald Watercolour, signed, 35 x 40.5cm.St Ives artist Clare White travelled to Switzerland often and set up her easel to sketch and paint outdoors in the village of Grindelwald nestled beneath the imposing glacial face of the Wetterhorn Mountain. As always, Clare's friendly 'feelgood' paintings in her distinctive warm watercolour palette belie the masterful draughtsmanship, attention the landscape detail and animated characterisation of her figures - whether chatting at a postcard stand or struggling up a hill with heavy bags. Fluent in French and German, Clare no doubt chatted to the people featured in this mood-enhancing village scene.From the collection of art historian and curator Andrew Pollard, the proprietor of the Clare White Gallery, who studied and exhibited Clare’s work 2002-2013. Andrew knew White and has been a passionate advocate for restoring the artist to her rightful place in Cornish art history. The works were purchased directly from the artist’s god daughter.

Wes Hempel (American, b. 1953). Oil on canvas "Landscape Fragment" painting depicting a photorealistic rushing stream with a waterfall, 2005. Signed along the lower right; dated along the lower left.Said Hempel of these works in 2005:"These small paintings, all sixteen inches square, began as an exercise gave myself to explore different techniques of landscape painting. Using traditional sources, mostly seventeenth-century, Dutch landscapes, would crop a small section (part of a tree, say, a bit of sky), sketch it loosely onto the canvas and then try to replicate it. Sometimes I referred to a source to cover only part of the canvas (the left half, for example) and then gave myself the task of making up the rest. On the canvases, fused element together from disparate sources with the goal of making them work as a cohesive whole.Though the paintings began this way, something else happened in the process that fascinated me. By taking just fragments from sources and thereby changing the focus of the original painting, I found that I was able to create wholly different moods. There were no longer any figures or buildings. Specificity of location disappeared. The point was no longer the pastoral or the bucolic (humans in nature), but rather nature itself, nature in nature, if you will. Yet, oddly, in many of the paintings there's the ghost presence of humans, a path, an unmistakable clearing in the woods, tire ruts in the mud. But rather than extolling the relationship between humans and nature, as in the Romantic tradition, the paintings seem to evoke the memory or fragmentation of Romanticism.think what excited me the most as the paintings progressed was that the element of time began to disappear. There's this trick that I like to perform. It doesn't always work, but when I'm outside on certain days and use my hand to shield my eyes so that I see only the tops of the trees, the clouds overhead, can have the sensation of going back in time. Suddenly, I'm sixteen again, standing on a street corner after school. Who I am in the present fades away - current obligations take a back street. I have only to watch the clouds, the trees waving in the breeze. If I happen to be in a quiet setting where there is just a stillness or the wind, I can imagine being in a different country. Some of these feelings, I believe, have worked their way into these paintings, that sense of timelessness and of the memory of place as opposed to an actual location, past and present fused together."Sight; height: 15 3/4 in x width: 15 in.

Follower of Sorolla. Valencian luminarist school, ca.1935."Boat and fishermen on the beach".Oil on canvas.The canvas has old patches on the back.On the back it reads: "Sketch, Sorolla".Measurements: 60 x 85 cm.Clearly Sorolla's painting. Three characters are pushing their boat towards the shore, a scene that reminds in theme and treatment the wide variety of Sorolla's luminist captures: fishermen eating on the deck or fishing, gathering the nets... The treatment of the sea is also the result of a meticulous study of the Valencian master's brushstrokes. In this type of painting, social realism in the interpretation of the humble characters is combined with the impressionist character of the capture of light and Mediterranean colours.
