A Winters Sunrise
Artist: Elizabeth Williams
If you’re looking for something truly traditional in style then this beautiful landscape painting by our long-time artist Elizabeth Williams would make an amazing addition to your collection. The intricate detailing and subtle use of colour creates a beautifully accurate illustration of a snowy winter forest. The warm orange cuts through cold of the white snow and creates a sense of hope as the winter sun rises to cast shadows along the ground. The great thing about this painting from Elizabeth is that it’s already framed, which means you won’t have to spend time or money trying to find one.
Argento
Artist: Angela Walker
Angela’s incredible use of detail has resulted in a life painting that is both beautiful and technically stunning. This depiction of a beautiful Lusitano horse would look perfect on the wall of a classical gallery room, hallway or living room. Argento means silver in Portuguese, which is the colour of this powerful and rare breed of horse. A classic technique and use of acrylic paints are what helped to craft this masterpiece. The finish of this painting has been done with a UV-resistant satin varnish which reduces the fading of colour and helps to protect the painting from air-born pollutants. Angela Walker loves to escape into her art and use her process to get some peace and quiet. Her dedication to such detailed pieces like this is why she is one of our top artists.

Artist: Olga Koval
Bring the bustling town of Venice into your living room this summer with this amazing depiction of the Grand Canal. The beautiful architecture in the City of Venice has inspired many artists throughout history and this contribution by Olga is nothing less of amazing. The painting has been created using traditional oil paints and a linen canvas. The vibrant colour and textured detail used in the piece makes it a perfect collection to any classical home, whether you want to frame it or leave in unframed.
