I am a real fan of a number of British artists and after the post about Trevor Chamberlain that Bobbo graced us with, I thought I would post some images of other British artists that are doing or did great work. In the case of Edward Seago, his life ended in 1974, but he was a huge influence on the artists to come including Trevor C. and Matthew Alexander who is of the generation after Trevor Chamberlain.
So enjoy.
Edward Seago- worked from life mostly, but did work in the studio too.
And Matthew Alexander- used to do a lot of plein air work, but mostly works in the studio now.
Keep painting,
Marc

Thanks for the mini show!!! P>S> Any idea of the sizes???Lee- Matthew Alexander’s are mostly in the 12×16 to 16×20 range. Edward Seago’s are larger ranging into the 18×24 and 24×30 area. Tommorrow I’ll post the sizes for you. They’re great aren’t they.
Keep painting,

http://www.blondheimartandstories.comMay 14, 2004 at 7:46 am #1031056I have to admit,
i don’t know any of these names,
and if i hadn’t stumbled across Chamberlains gem of a book,
i wouldn’t know any plein air painters from the UK,
apart from Turner and Constable of course
Turner was he the first impressionist?oh what a dimmm head i am…..
ofcourse i know another English plein air painterFred cumming,
he used to live in the next village on the south coast
it took him 50 years to become succesfull,
and now he is raking it in,sell out one man shows
showings at the national gallery in London
Madonna Paul mcCartney have his paintings
he inspired me to go out and paint…C&C always welcome

Blog: Painting My Way Through LifeMay 14, 2004 at 11:17 am #1031085Those paintings by Cummings in Bobbo’s latest post are amazing, especially
#2-5 from the top. They are so abstract in terms of paint application
yet they are instantly recognizable as specific landscapes.I wonder, is the ability to paint this way something that can be
learned/developed or are some people just born with a unique
ability to do this? Maybe they see the world or process information
in a different way than the rest of us.I would recommend a book called “The Encyclopedia of Oil Painting
Techniques” by Jeremy Galton. He has lots of great paintings from artists
I’d never heard of. I think most of them are from England, and apparently
some do a lot of plein air work. Along with Chamberlain, here are some
artists whose work I recommend:Arthur Maderson
Brian Bennett
James Horton
Ken Howard
Raymond Leech
