ABOUT THE ARTWORK
‘Whale Watching, Golden Hour’ is painted using oil and acrylic on canvas. It is a large painting on an artist’s high quality Windsor and Newton stretcher which is warp resistant. The painting is made using large brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas. It is painted using a combination of oil and acrylic paint which gives it extreme vibrancy and shine in some areas. In some areas of the painting the oil pigment is fluorescent which gives intense strong colour. The painting is inspired by a recent trip to California. On the first day I drove my car out of LA early because I wasn’t sure how my British brain would cope with the multiple lanes of cars moving at speed. Turns out it was fine. I drove north from LA, up the pacific coast, to Pismo, a sleepy slightly ramshackle surf town. I pulled in and parked up near a group of shops, a random palmist, donuts, coffee and I checked my phone for things to do and see. It suggested a walk down the pier. That morning the weather was grey and drizzly. Not the clear Californian blue I was hoping for, but as I wandered along the pier I could see poeple looking out and gathered all watching something. As I came closer and stood for a minute suddenly huge dark shapes broke through the water surface and lurched forward. Hump back whales. In my life I have never experienced anything quite so amazing in the natural world. So large, strange shapes the mouths sort of bulge and ripple. One whale flapped its tail for over 20 hits to bring the fish up to the surface. I loved the experience of seeing this so much I wanted to incorporate it into a painting.

Ruth Mulvie
United Kingdom
Ruth Mulvie is a contemporary fine artist, known for her vivid palette and for the delightfully unexpected detail in her paintings. She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art and over the years comparisons have been made with Hockney. She cherishes that visceral connection that Kodachrome™ gives us with our past. That single moment frozen in time that one can look at forever. Old photographs are her initial inspiration for each new piece; a digital springboard atop which she dives into her latest delicious fantasy landscape. Mulvie’s colour choices yell and fizz. They quicken the heartbeat. Sherbet yellow next to candy pink or lime green besides turquoise, they all elevate the mood. In her paintings we are invited to join the most wonderful party or shared experience. Mulvie’s realms surprise and delight. Hers are playful, glamorous worlds with pure glee for oxygen. And in each we are granted a day in happy valley. At the heart of Mulvie’s pieces is the palpable joyfulness in her response to colour. She is at her happiest when mixing and combining paint, waiting for the thrill of the perfect shade. For her, colour is emotion, colour is memory, colour is her favourite place to be. And we are all invited. There’s no place like it. Julie Tellouche Of her own work Mulvie says: "I usually paint with oils and I dedicate a lot of time to the process of simply mixing and combining colours, hence the highly unique and distinctive palette you can see in my work. Things I love include classic beach scenes, 50’s America, vintage fashion, dancing girls, disco queens, dog walkers and more - a vast and varied array of subject matter I unite under the broad theme of “pleasure”."
