Dylan Waldron's "Pears and Gourds" - still life painting

Описание: Still life is one of Dylan Waldron's favorite themes to paint. Particularly "pears and gourds", but unusually he grows these in his garden and waits till they are just right to paint. He enjoys the variation of shapes and sizes, which you don't get from the suppermarket!

Biography - Born in Newcastle-Under-Lyme in 1953 Waldron was the son of a sculptor and studied at Stourbridge College of Art and Wolverhampton. Since 1983, he has exhibited regularly in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and his work is sold internationally. His subjects depicted are personal and carefully chosen, whether this is material for a still life, a domestic interior, a landscape, portrait or nude study.

Waldron's painting style has its roots in traditional techniques, with each piece of work having between twenty and thirty layers of translucent colour glazes, built up to achieve depth of tone and luminosity, with a finely worked and highly detailed finish. Waldron also constructs and hand finishes the frames for each individual painting, which he sees as integral to the overall presentation of the work.
