Late Again?
Pamela Cockcroft-Lasserre
Watercolour on Acid Free paper, 2017
Framed, 45 1/2 cm x 35 1/2 cm
“Late Again?” Is a small, loosely painted watercolour image of a rather beautiful woman in fascinator and feather boa, possibly awaiting her tardy lover or preoccupied with her own distant thoughts, such that she cares not a jot if she’s late.
There are both figurative and abstract passages in the painting, a limited palette extending into a wide range of delicate tonal values whilst the slash of green to left enhances flashes of a similar green in the boa. Highly animated brushstrokes in her attire create a lively contrast between the soft skin tone washes.
The work is matted and framed by the artist to emphasize the subtle reds and rich greens for additional resonance.
The auction will go “live” at 12:00PM on Monday, June 22 and will conclude at 12:00PM on Monday, July 06. We are asking each artist to choose one work valued between $200 and $500 to be placed in the online auction platform. Bidding would start at 70% of the stated price. The auction platform will add a 5% surcharge to be paid by the buyer. The works sold would be delivered by the artist to the school, which can later be picked up by the buyer, all in a safe, social distancing environment.
