New Original Artwork available from Castle Galleries Newcastle

Well it seems like the World Cup is on everyone's mind at the moment, including some of artists as you can probably tell by the image below. This fantastic piece has been created by our artist Peter Smith and has the very simple but apt title of 'Passion'! This England 'Impossimal' is certainly showing his team colours and will certainly be cheering on the boys!

Below is another adorable piece by Peter, featuring his more traditional 'Impossimals'. This piece is titled 'Parent and Child' and captures this tender moment beautifully. It is very much a caring and loving moment and plucks at everyon'e heart strings!

Another of our artists who appears to have passion for England running through his blood is Paul Kenton. He has created an ode to England in his new work 'Jack Thames' with a Union Jack running through the heart of London. As always Paul's unique technique of painting with a screwdriver has helped create a striking and powerful image depicting our country's capital!

Paul certainly has a way of capturing London's impressive city skyline. His pieces can be so expressive and dominating even when he uses a basic colour palet of red, black and white! We love it when we get his original artwork here in the gallery, it's great to see all of his expressive 'screwdriver' strokes and feel the relief of his artwork!

'Dome Sunset' original oil by Paul Kenton

For those of you who are already fed up with the World Cup hype (and our British summer for that matter) how about warming things up with one of Hamish Blakley's Latin fused originals! The firey piece below is titled 'Cafe Bloero' and features our couple dancing the night away . This piece oozes passion and warmth  and is sure to be a focal point for any room!

Cafe Bolero - original oil by Hamish Blakely

Another piece sure to cause a fiery stir is this remarkable painting titled 'Let them Wonder'. It is very much an evocative titled, almost challenging with the way the couple are staring right into the viewers eyes. With the title 'Let them Wonder' it is almost challenging us the viewer to question them. Who are they? Are they Lovers? Is this a Lovers Tryst? Are they having an affair?

For those of you who prefer a more calming influence from your artwork you will be speechless at Lawrence Coulson's newest original artwork. His stunning almost photo realistic landscapes never fail to impress and can capture a tranquil moment in an instant!

All is Tranquil - original oil by Lawrence Coulson

If you prefer something more epic perhaps the piece below would be more up your street. The thunderous and brooding skies created by Lawrence Coulson never fail to impress. The elegant slope of the smooth beach is a delicious contrast to the rapturous skies!

'How Time Flies' original oil by Lawrence Coulson

What Elephant?

After nearly two weeks our elephant in the room is nearly finished. We will be sad to see not only our elephant leave but also Jeff Rowland whom has been our artist in residence. Jeff is one of a small number of Washington Green artists whom have been asked to paint an elephant for the 2010 Elephant Parade.

We will miss Jeff and his shoes (must be seen to be believed). Why not pop in over the next week to see our Elephant before she leaves us for London.
