Elizabeth Tebby Germaine

Over quite a few years I've painted landscapes, old buildings, water, skies, dogs and cats, etc. and have tried to develop something other than a strictly representational style.

I trained as an art teacher many years ago but have followed other careers since, and my painting technique is self taught. I have had a number of commissions to paint houses and gardens and occasionally a building or location which is of particular interest or marks an anniversary. With these I am interested in a detailed accurate representation and lot of preparation goes into discussing the angles and the best light to give interest to a subject.

I also enjoy experimenting with abstract ideas, but am usually drawn back to more traditional subjects.

March 2018 Recently I collected and edited some of my photographs and published a book of black and white images - 'Selected Photographs - memorable images from the UK and Europe'. More details on www.elizabethtebbygermaine.co.uk

March 2019 After a break am concentrating again on painting and developing different techniques and styles. Being a member of the Cheltenham Art Club gives me opportunities for discussion and feedback with a variety of other artists

In 2011 I exhibited paintings at Pastelaria, a charming cafe in Warwick where there are regular exhibitions of works by artists on Warwickshire Artists.co.uk.

In May 2011 I had an exhibition of paintings and prints at Goldstraws Gallery, High St Warwick.

A selection of paintings were exhibited at the Creative Health Centre, Regent Street, Leamington Spa until July 2011.

I am happy to accept commissions to paint House and Garden Portraits - these are usually done from sketches and photos taken during the summer months when gardens are looking their best, but not necessarily. I also enjoy animal portraits. Please email for details and examples of previous commissions.

With a commission I will discuss your ideas and prefer if possible to visit and plan the painting and take my own photos of the subject. As the painting progresses I can send images and get your feedback. I have also worked from photos sent if the subject is a long distance away.
