Swirling Beauty

Swirling Beauty
Graphite Drawing  on  Paper
8″ X 10″
2008

Artist Comments:

Beauty is all around us, if we manage to just notice it.

The beauty of a sun’s first rays in the early morning.

Who doesn’t find rainbows beautiful, with their promise that the rain has finally stopped.

There’s intrinsic beauty in all of nature - since it was created that way - perfect and unspoiled.

Transcendence - Drawing Artwork

Posted on March 23rd, 2009 by User Imageadmin

Transcendence

TRANSCENDENCE
Graphite Drawing on Bristol
9″ X 12″
2008

Artist Comments:

Transcendence means “going beyond” ones natural capabilities. It implies deliverance - being lifted up or brought out of - and “renewed”.

Transcendence in this drawing means “PROGRESS”.

Much of my past artwork dealt with the subject of change and progress from nature’s perspective - paralleled with an underlying theme of the human psychological condition.

Beachview - Scenic Newfoundland Painting

Posted on March 21st, 2009 by User Imageadmin

Beach View

At the Beach - Enjoying the View
Oil Painting on Canvas Board
9″ X 12″
2008

Artist Comments:

This is an early evening view from a rocky beach at LaScie, in Newfoundland, Canada.

This is a small fishing village.Wharfs and boats similar to the ones in this painting dot the shoreline.

The hills in the background actually surround this small village, providing a naturally sheltered harbor.

A small boat gently rocks back and forth, swayed by continuous rolling waves.

The aroma of the salty sea are mixed with the always unpleasant smells of a bustling fish-plant.

It is very peaceful here.

Round Harbor - Acrylic Painting

Posted on March 19th, 2009 by User Imageadmin

Round Harbor

Round Harbor
Acrylic on masonite
18″ X 24″
2003

Artist Comments:

This is a commissioned painting of Round Harbor - a fishing village not far from where I live.

Round Harbor is a very small but picturesque town located on the Baie Verte Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada. The coast of Newfoundland was once dotted with hundreds of similar small towns and fishing villages.

This town is one of the few survivors of the resettlement programs, and up until recently had a few living occupants.

Today, the outport community is mostly unoccupied - and used mainly as a summer retreat.

Iceflow - Painting by Graham Matthews

Posted on March 18th, 2009 by User Imageadmin

Iceflow

Iceflow
Oil on Canvas Board
12″ X 16″
2008

Artist Comments:
Icebergs are a common sight where I live. They actually make a long voyage here from the glaciers of the arctic.During the spring/ early summer months icebergs are also a great tourist attraction.  They often have beautiful sculptural forms and no two are ever alike. Some are towering majestic chunks of ice poised ready to topple over, and are being molded  and shaped by  the elements.

Others have cracks and even deep caves and crevices.

The wind and the waves work together to form one of natures finest masterpieces - the magnificent iceberg.

    Hello...

    As you can see, I paint and draw A LOT!!

    My favorite styles are expressive, freestyle drawings and paintings.



    There's much here to see.
    Feel free to browse.
    If you have any questions or inquiries, don't hesitate to email me.. graham @artsspot.com (without the space)


    I am from a small fishing town called LaScie in Newfoundland, Canada.

    Much of my work is influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, as well as personal experience.

    My themes vary from straight forward scenery that depict the beauty of this part of the world, to purely psychological and emotional imagery.

    For the most part, my themes are deeply personal and autobiographical.
