Hi from me, Martin at Terry Harrison Art, I hope this newsletter finds you well.
We have some great news this week - a new batch of Terry Harrison Original Paintings have been put up for sale on the website - so here is a chance to own an original of his.
They are all on the website but I wanted to take this newsletter (and potentially another) to run through the new offerings.
I know that some of our subscribers will have Terry Harrison Books so here are those Paintings which featured in those actual books.
Use the links to see the images in full on the website as these are thumbnails and not the full images:
Painting Watercolour Sea and Sky (Still in print)
Days End 13 x 15.5 inches Watercolour on paper:
The warm evening light reflects off the water and cliffs and in order to create this magical light, all of these colours needed to be applied before any of the darker colours could be added on the top.
On The Rocks 12.5 x 18.5 inches Watercolour on paper
Featuring the Bass Maine Lighthouse.You really get a sense that the storm has passed over and the warm glow on the horizon foretells of better weather to follow.
Sunset over the Pier 13 x 19 inches Watercolour on paper
Terry painted Eastbourne Pier in different seasons and at different times of the day. He loved the structure and the shapes created by the geometric framework.This is a lovely example of the sun setting behind the pier.
Turning for Home 13 x 19 inches Watercolour on paper
This painting suggests the end of a beach walk when its time to return home before dark. Terry was masterful at creating a glow of light in his paintings, and this golden sunset reflects beautifully in the water and the wet sand.
Painting Rustic Buildings and Barns (limited copies left)
A Chilly Start 13 x 15 inches watercolour on paper
This is such a warm scene, despite the snow. The glorious colours in the sky and distant foliage are also used in the barn and house, and a warm light is reflected onto the foreground snow.
Chicken a la Cart 10.5 x 17.5 inches watercolour on paper
There is the most sumptuous use of colour dropped wet into wet into this barn roof, which contrasts dramatically with the textures of the stone.
Painting Ireland (out of print)
Lake View - Ireland 10.5 x 14 inches Watercolour on paper
This is Croagh Patrick, one of Terry's scenes which feature in his book "Painting Ireland"
The warm glow of colours in the sky reflects off the hills, buildings and water creating a magical light in this painting. There is such a rich diversity of colours used to create this delightfully calm painting.
Dunluce Castle - N Ireland 11 x 15.5 inches Watercolour on paper
Clinging to the wild north coast in County Antrim, Dunluce Castle was build around 1500. This wonderful composition shows the castle against a dramatic sky, emphasising its commanding position. This is a particularly lovely painting with strong contrasts and a grand sense of scale.
Brush with Watercolour (Out of Print)
Moonlit Bay 13 x 20 inches Watercolour on paper
This is an unusual painting for Terry, painting moonlight using a limited colour palette, however there are deep blues and greens used which add such depth to this. The tonal values are perfect and the moonlight sparkles on the sea. The moon is only just visible behind the clouds.
Sunlit Steps 12.5 x 19 inches watercolour on paper
This was a subject Terry returned to many times. It is baked in sunshine, full of floral details, lovely textures and a strong directional composition leading the viewer up the steps towards the seats at the top.
Painting Boats and Harbours (out of Print)
View towards Lago 12.5 x 19 inches Watercolour on paper
This is the view from the island of San Guilio. The boats are moored on the banks of Lake Orta in Italy.This magical view was inspired by a day Terry so enjoyed, he took a trip by boat on the lake and was so excited by all the wonderful views.
Ready to Paint: Watercolour Landscapes
Rustic Doorway 9.5 x 14.5 inches watercolour on paper
This blue door bathed in sunshine and surrounded by flowers is a popular subject that Terry painted which illustrates a variety of textures and skill within a compact subject.
