| Eleanor Driscoll |
Predominantly a still life painter,
Eleanor Driscoll also features
landscapes and seascapes in her
collection of work. Her paintings appeal
to many art enthusiasts because of the
feeling of familiar objects and
environments. She tries each time to
impart the pleasure she experienced
when first viewing the particular
subject. She is greatly influenced by
the Old Dutch and Flemish masters.
"I choose oil as my medium because I
like to build up glazes," she says
"giving a feeling of depth and
solidarity; overlapping and working
into the painting rather than drawing
edges."
Eleanor has studied painting many
years with the late Helen Van Wyk
(teacher,friend, mentor); the late Jack
Callahan; the late Charles Vickery and
Don Stone. She has had several shows
and received numerous awards over
the past twenty-five years of painting
professionally. Mrs. Driscoll was
features in the Grumbacher publication
"Palette Talk" and assisted the editor
of a recently published revision of a
book on floral painting by Helen Van
Wyk. Her paintings can be found in
many private collections.
