Gail Elson’s paintings have a sensual, seductive quality and her masterful handling of paint celebrates this aspect beautifully. Working intuitively, Gail responds to flowers through light, movement, and atmosphere, capturing a specific moment in time. Sensation is central: time spent in the garden, even physical responses like the itch of grasses, feeds directly into the work. Rejecting the idea that flowers makes pretty pictures, Gail’s paintings are a meeting of artist, flower, and paint.
