Anne Penman Sweet

An excellent artist I discovered in Sheffield is Anne Penman Sweet, who lives and works in London, UK. The work that I saw in Cupola Gallery were all small landscapes like the one pictured below. In person there is a luminous quality about them. Like me she uses a translucent movement of paint on a slippery surface omitting white from her palette. Anne Penman Sweet, Purple Rain III Her more recent work all consists of shipping freighters. Having recently lived on a ship in a port for a good part of last year, I feel a relation to her work.
