Linda Sutton - The Opera Tarot

In 2012, I began a deck of tarot cards, all on opera. I wanted every painting to have an appropriate situation or person in opera, fulfilling the meaning of each tarot card. Hopefully, I have managed to include most of the major operatic composers. The writer Philip Carr-Gomm has accompanied my deck, with a brilliant and erudite text.

Containing 80 tarot cards (including two alternatives) measuring 13x9cms, printed on 350gms card. Each painting printed in full colour, depicting a person or situation in opera. 2 books with meanings and explanations. One in English, the other translated into Italian.

This is a high quality deck, with an outer slip- case case approximately 14x10.5x6cms. Rose-gold leaf writing on inner and outer boxes. Rose-gold edges to cards and backs. Some tarot paintings include historic or living opera singers.

This edition, signed and numbered by the artist, is limited to 1000 copies.

Price UK £65 each. Postage & packing to a UK address: £5 for one or more copies.

Europe €80 each. Postage & packing to Europe: 20 euros for one or more copies. 8 copies or more will be sent carriage free, worldwide.

Anne Wright’s paintings of Calabria

London artist Anne Wright, who has captivated her followers by painting evocative scenes from Greek islands and other fondly-appreciated localities, has turned her attention to the Italian region of Calabria – to one of its small historic towns, to be precise. A week’s stay in the month of May, at the invitation of a friend whose portrait she once painted, in the hilltop settlement of Belmonte, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, led her to sketch intently, ready to work up the images back in her studio...

Ronald Morgan Interviewed in the Studio at his Flat in Bow

This is my portrait of Ronald Morgan in the studio at his flat in Bow where I visited him recently. Ronald has lived the batchelor life in an attractive art deco block of flats in Bow for forty years and it is furnished as if he had only just moved in, yet the piles of discarded sketches which litter the floor of his quiet studio at the rear of the building more than testify to his prodigious output in this time...

Prowess of The Small Paintings Group on Display at Piers Feetham Gallery, Chelsea

From the high notes of the opera house to the polar High North, the subject matter singled out by individual artists for the January-February 2016 exhibition of The Small Paintings Group ranges far and wide. This has ever been so. The group has thrived on its talented members’ blissful freedom of conceptualisation and their dedication and diligence since its inaugural show in 1991...

Moving On: Caroline McAdam Clark’s Compelling Paintings Inspired by Her Road Trip through Arizona and New Mexico

Welcome to New Mexico, said the road sign as Caroline McAdam Clark – an artist based in London and Suffolk – and a Los Angeles friend motored in a shiny red Nissan hire car across the high-desert plain dominated by the dramatic peak of Shiprock. As they had done three years earlier, in 2013 the two women had driven across Arizona...

Santorini Turns on its Magic

Anne Wright has renewed reason to appreciate the magical atmosphere of Santorini, the beautiful island 200km southeast of the Greek mainland. The London artist, whose latest exhibition includes nine paintings from her trip to the southern Aegean Sea in September 2013, has returned to tell a story of amazing happenstance. While she has travelled to the island many times, she still discovers new villages – and on this occasion, as always, set about her sketching with gusto...

Drawing and Dance: The Fine Lines in the Artistic Career of London Painter Cinzia Bonada

Fascinations with ballet (in her youth she caught the approving eye of Dame Margot Fonteyn), and with the relatively free style of Greek dancing, and with painting, especially portraiture, have emblazoned the career of Cinzia Bonada. Resident in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames, Cinzia is best known now as a successful exhibitor...

London Artist Linda Sutton brings the Thrill of the Opera House to the Canvas

London artist Linda Sutton conducts – with paint brushes rather than batton – a lyrical reading of the the world’s greatest operas. In a series of fresh and melodious paintings, a constellation of stars floats elegantly on to her stage. Four of her new works are in the Small Paintings Group exhibition at the Russell Gallery, Lower Richmond Road, Putney, until June 8 2013. All members of the Group submit up to four paintings each, and the show has 100 modest (in scale but not execution) works in total...
