Marlene Dickerson, La Lucia






Marlene has a way of capturing tangible 'life' within her paintings - light and shadows dance and create depth in a breathtaking manner....for example - Incoming tide , a smaller than usual painting for Marlene (12x10inches)....but with a magnitude of drama that belies its size!!



Not given to painting just the ordinary - Marlene approaches regular subjects with an extraordinary flair...consider her work : Drakensberg 1 - an array of colourful hues, effectively reflecting the majesty of the range!


A Wildebeest Party is an oil that was on show at the last exhibition ; but oh so worthy of another preview...that and the fact that it works so well with another of her works - Zebra Stampede ....both beautiful studies of the animal form in the wild!!
