Keith Olsen: Garden of Earthly Delights

Please join us for Keith's artist-talk, Friday 6th August at 1pm.

As a Catlins artist, my work is very much influenced by my wider environment. However, for this current exhibition Garden of Delights, I have limited myself to my own garden, focusing mainly on the edible plants to be found there. To capture the glowing colours of the fruit, vegetables, and flowers, I have used coloured pencil on dark-painted wooden panels. The name I have coined for this form of mixed media is ‘pencil painting’.
