Oil
Paintings |
| During the 1930's and 1940's Lindsay
decided he needed a 'a fresh approach to art' and began to focus
on a series of large 'gallery' paintings. He had dabbled with oils
as early as the start of the 1900's, His oil paintings included
the large works based on history, mythology and literature, portraits
and the smaller works where he focused on rich and contrasting
colours. |
| Lindsay kept a book full of the names
and contact details for models and kept most of them busy. But
it was Rose in her early days and Rita later in his career that
he considered his two most beautiful models. When he was unable
to use live models he would refer to the pencil studies he had
amassed over many years for the correct proportion and muscular
definition. He was able to achieve more accurate skin tones with
oils discovered it to be a medium in which his love of theatre
and costume could be better expressed. |
