Champagne in the Shadows Embellished Canvas on Board Edition of 195 24” x 26” £950 “Over the years I think I’ve been seen as a ‘genuine’ painter, someone who buys into the whole concept of observation, interpretation, beauty, form, compositional balance, and uses the trusted medium of oils on canvas. This perhaps sets me apart from some artists at work today, and makes me appear to be a traditionalist. And insofar as I adhere to these traditional artistic values, I suppose I am. But I do still dearly love to paint modern life, in a way that I hope, believe, will continue to communicate with a contemporary audience.” 15 SHERREE VALENTINE-DAINES SPORTING LIVES
