#WorkOfTheWeek is Fiona Rae's candy-coloured canvas, painted in 2017. 🍭
Dotted lines and arrows move about the painting, drawing our attention to the light, airy spaces in between. The painting presents us with a sense of hope and a feeling of calm.

London’s Embankment by #JMWTurner . 🏙️
As a young artist, Turner developed a meticulous style to describe architectural features. In this unfinished watercolour, he has applied that same style to the bustling metropolis of London.

Cuban-American artist Carmen Herrera was born #OnThisDay in 1915. 💚
She sold her first artwork at 81 years old & had her first solo show in 2016. She painted almost every day until her death & is remembered for her ground-breaking, abstract works. bit.ly/3WULQV4
Recognised as one of the most important artists of the 20th century, Walter Sickert was born #OnThisDay 1860. 🖼️
In this 1919 still life, Sickert's agile handling of the paint suggests he painted quickly and directly in front of the Roquefort cheese.

🌧️ All this rain has us thinking about #GerhardRichter 's paintings.
Their shimmering streaks of white, red and rusty orange start to resemble blurred forms in a puddle or reflections of figures, buildings or buses through a rain-soaked window.
