of universally celebrated fine artist, Sherree Valentine-Daines, Mark Rowbotham completes the other 50% of one of the UK’s leading contemporary figurative artist teams. This husband and wife partnership have been responsible for the production of a glut of stunning and best-selling illustrative work between them down the years and pride themselves on their enticing blend of pastel, oils and watercoloured compositions. However, it’s Rowbotham we’re interested in most on this content-creating occasion, as we afford you a little more background on the hugely popular exponent of the figurative and landscape genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Born in Sarawak in Borneo in 1959, Rowbotham’s parental unit were of Yorkshire breeding themselves, and as soon as their son showed signs of an artistic streak, actively encouraged and supported him as his fledgling talent blossomed during his formative years. Expressing himself through his grasp of art as a child, Rowbotham’s gift didn’t go unnoticed outside of the family environment either, as he was awarded first prize in the National Children’s Painting Competition at the precocious age of just 8 years. It comes as little surprise then to learn that Rowbotham went on to study Fine Art at Degree level once he’d completed his rudimentary secondary education, choosing to take the course at Epsom Art College when the time came.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Yet once he graduated Rowbotham stopped his potential professional painting career in its tracks, by instead opting to go into his family’s business; albeit a not altogether uncreative line in itself. But not one to do things by halves it would appear, Rowbotham decided that to compliment pursuing a career in the landscape gardening industry he must familiarise himself with all aspects of the business; and therefore enrolled himself on yet another course of higher education in order to realise this. With this in mind, Rowbotham’s next step was to sign up for agricultural college, where he spent an additional 2 years studying Landscape Design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The story clearly doesn’t end there though, as all the while that Rowbotham was immersing himself in his family’s business, he was further brushing up on his art and keep his painted hand in so to speak, if only as a labour of love at that juncture. Striking a work\/life balance which he was happy with and served his needs well at the time, Rowbotham was eventually swayed back towards his first creative love, and turned to painting his satisfy his every professional and personal need in the end. So much so that in recent years Rowbotham has dedicated his time to his compositions, which has subsequently left precious little time for the landscape design\/gardening commitments; and he’s all the more contented for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Rowbotham has long been inspired by the works of Degas as well as the Impressionist movement, which tells heavily in his own brand of illustrative art. Choosing to frequent a cross section of media and sizes, Rowbotham more often than not opted for the pastel approach to his predominantly figurative art when starting out and striving to make a name for himself. Having said that, in recent history Rowbotham has gravitated more towards a seemingly exclusive use of oils which has been equally well received by his loyal followers and art critics alike. Indeed, Rowbotham’s now signature graphic releases have become much sought-after pieces, due in no small part to what many acknowledge to be the very carefully executed nature of his work. Rowbotham’s been known to take many days, even weeks, manifesting each piece. Although noted for his draughtsmanship, Rowbotham has also invited high praise for his sensitive and considered administering of tone and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Rowbotham’s work consequently appears in numerous private collections globally, while closer to home, examples of his work take pride of place in such prestigious establishments as the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. The awards didn’t begin and end with his first, and back as a prodigiously talented 8-year old as mentioned above, as Rowbotham has since gone on to enjoy various accolades in his capacity as a professional artist. These include the coveted Patterson Award, as presented by the Royal Pastel Society in 1993, whilst he’s also been approached with a view to joining the respected Royal Water-Colour Society and the Royal Oil Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Elsewhere and Rowbotham has had countless illustrative pieces accepted and furthermore, prominently displayed in a gamut of high profile places, which include the New English Art Club, the Royal Watercolour Society and Royal Society For Painters In Watercolour, the Royal Society Of British Artists and the Royal Institute Of Oil Painters amongst others. Today Rowbotham is exploring new creative areas in terms of subject matter, which, courtesy of his technical mastery ensures that he routinely originates pictorials which, irrespective of visual intent and purpose, exude atmosphere thanks to his use of texture and deep, opulent hues and saturations of old. A regular exhibitor at London’s in demand, Mall Galleries, Rowbotham also enjoys phenomenal international success and cites Jeffrey Archer and Bamber Gascgoine amongst his celebrity collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39892542226513,"sku":"","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/products\/MarkRowbotham_LadyinHat_Pastel_16x14_Crop.png?v=1651593070"},{"product_id":"cynthia-erdahl-title-portrait-of-a-woman","title":"Cynthia Erdahl Title: Portrait of a Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCynthia Erdahl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePortrait of a Woman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePastel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e29.25\" x 23.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld price: $175\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Price: $87.5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50% off\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolychromatic pigments seem to flow from Cynthia Erdahl’s mind through her fingers and onto canvas, paper — really whatever surface she can find. “Color, Color, Everywhere!” could almost be a mantra for this artist who came to her calling by a circuitous route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter years of city case work in foster care and building a counseling practice, Cynthia, who has a Master’s Degree in Social Work, decided to strike out on her own and start an independent practice. “In order to market myself better, I started going to Toastmasters as a way of developing my public speaking.  It was great and led to many opportunities!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of her first discoveries was that she was good at it — enjoying the people that she met and the spotlight so much that she began entertaining the idea of appearing on stage. In one of her first plays, Cynthia was featured in a  comedy, where she portrayed a glamorous 1950’s housewife\/beauty pageant contestant. Bitten by the acting bug, she kept on tripping the footlights, in addition to keeping her business going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne day she idly did a drawing of the beach and later showed it to a friend who was blown away. Her friend, a fellow creative, saw Cynthia’s talent right away. “She told me I needed to do more art. So, I did some pen and ink drawings of places around Richmond and had them made into cards, and started going to shops to see if they would carry them.” Sure enough, the cards were a hit! So, Cynthia moved out to other markets such as Nags head, Ocracoke, Wrightsville Beach, Fredericksburg, DC. and met with success at every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI remember, when I first met Cynthia in a painting group. “Success in Making and Selling Art,” was an often-discussed topic, because each of us wanted to pursue that end in some way.  This was many years ago and at that point, though Cynthia was relatively “new to the game,” she had already garnered excellent experience.  She passed on some very good advice,  “Just have a pad and pen with you at all times and draw everything you see. Draw everything that interests you.” That and DON’T GIVE UP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple, yes? Cynthia has done that and more. Her ability to find markets for her work, excellent classes from myriad artists and teachers, as well as opportunities to show and sell is phenomenal. How does she do this? Devotion to creativity and to her art, and an open mind about her style and media. Staying FRESH. It’s pretty darn impressive when you think about someone who had no prior training or inkling and, now, keeps at it, constantly creating new art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, she has shown internationally numerous times in the “Artificium of Humanitas” East meets West Show,” held in the United States and South Korea. Other opportunities were in China and Uzbekistan. In Richmond she has shown at artspace gallery, Artemis Gallery, “The V Tashkent Biennale: Results and Reflections,” Quirk Gallery and many,many other places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill toiling away in her studio, her latest show, “Revive” on May 4 in Richmond, at Hummel Associates, 223 North 1st Street, Richmond, Virginia, will feature a range of her work in differing styles, abstract to (quasi) representational. The pieces may wander the map in terms of style, but each is filled with an essential delight, a celebration of life that makes you think, and feel happy, and…… of course, there’s “Color,Color, Everywhere!” Here’s to persistence and painting the world in a panoramic palate!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned Art","offers":[{"title":"Default
